Subsea Tie-in Engineer

Role Overview

Subsea tie-in system design and engineering for connecting pipeline end terminations (PLETs), pipeline end manifolds (PLEMs), inline structures (ILTs) and subsea trees. Responsible for tie-in method selection, spool/jumper design and installation engineering for diver and diverless connection systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design subsea tie-in spools, jumpers and connection systems
• Select and specify tie-in methods (vertical vs horizontal, diver vs diverless)
• Perform spool and jumper stress analysis including thermal expansion effects
• Design tie-in aids including guideposts, alignment systems and landing frames
• Coordinate with pipeline, structure and controls teams for interface management
• Prepare tie-in design reports, specifications and installation procedures
• Support installation vessel spread selection and tie-in campaign planning
• Review vendor documentation for tie-in connectors and connection tooling

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Ocean or Subsea Engineering
• 6+ years of subsea tie-in design experience
• Experience with vertical and horizontal tie-in systems (Vectran, FMC, Aker solutions)
• Knowledge of spool and jumper design codes (DNV-ST-F101, API 17D)
• Proficiency in OrcaFlex or OFFPIPE for installation analysis
• Understanding of ROV-assisted diverless connection operations
• Strong 3D spatial awareness and interface management skills
• BOSIET certification required
