(Jr.) Structural Integrity Engineer
Job Description

Job description

Work at the heart of our Decommissioning projects on challenging removal concepts

 

Your role in the story
As a (Jr.) Structural Integrity Engineer you provide structural engineering support for product & business development, study, tender and commercial projects. Working with existing offshore structures which were never designed to be removed means puzzling and setting your structural engineering skills to work. Your technical analyses and calculations lead to making the right choices for the project. Therefore quality is paramount to you and you understand that working together is the basis for a good and safe result. 

 

Are you ready to make the impossible possible? 

 

You will be assigned to the Decommissioning business line and occasionally also support Wind and Transport & Installation projects. As part of the Structural Integrity team you will be working on one of the many removal projects, balancing exotic out-of-the-box removal plans with a realistic view on the integrity of the structure. Using your expertise you can grow further into the discipline, being responsible for your own scopes and projects. Moreover you get to know fellow disciplines (Marine Engineering, Structural Design Engineering, Removal Engineering, Foundation, FEA etc.) along the way as they may provide input in your analyses, setting you up with a broad basis for any future challenge within our organization.

 

What you will be working on

  • Perform structural strength verification analyses of offshore structure use of software packages SACS and GENIE; 
  • Construct structural models for offshore platforms (including weight control); 
  • Support concept development for platform removal tenders and projects; 
  • Develop and automate the future analysis methods; 
  • Review structural deliverables (construction reports and drawings); 
  • Perform quality control on deliverables prepared by colleagues; 
  • Support projects offshore or on yards. 

 

Key ingredients for success:

  • A bachelor's or master's degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, offshore engineering or equivalent; 
  • Affinity with Structural Engineering;
  • Affinity with framework programs such as SACS or GENIE; 
  • Experience with programming or automation (e.g. Python programming) is considered a plus; 
  • Analytical, practical and pragmatic mindset;  
  • Excellent command of English. 

 

Your future colleagues 

You will join a supportive and collaborative team of 14–15 structural integrity engineers. The team combines a high level of experience with younger colleagues who bring fresh ideas and energy. What connects everyone is a shared curiosity and a strong analytical mindset, always aiming to understand the core of a problem together. You work closely with the wider project team and your analyses have a real impact on key decisions, shaping safe, responsible and well-considered solutions. If you enjoy meaningful technical challenges, working together on complex questions and seeing your work make a difference, this team offers an environment where you can grow and thrive.
