JOB PURPOSE

Pre-FID: Provide offshore pipeline engineering support to mature the pipeline design basis, route selection, technical specifications, installation philosophy, schedule and cost inputs up to RTA and contract readiness, ensuring alignment with project execution strategy, HSE requirements and FID governance.

Post FID: Be responsible for the technical follow-up, review and validation of the pipeline design and associated installation engineering deliverables, ensuring that the pipeline system is safe, constructible, compliant with Contract requirements, project specifications, applicable codes and standards, and ready for procurement, fabrication, installation, pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover.

Pre FID activities
• Support review and consolidation of offshore pipeline design basis, project specifications, technical requisitions and key engineering assumptions for FEED close-out, CFT and RTA.
• Contribute to pipeline route selection, shore approach definition, crossing philosophy, geophysical/geotechnical data review and identification of key installation constraints.
• Support preparation and technical clarification of EPC/LLI tender documents related to line pipe, coating, welding, installation, pre-commissioning and associated pipeline deliverables.
• Review contractor technical proposals, deviations, qualifications and clarifications related to pipeline design, installation methodology and constructability.
• Support project management in identifying key pipeline technical risks, schedule drivers, long-lead items and installation readiness requirements for FID.
