Lead Subsea Pipeline Engineer

Title:

KBR Consulting International draws on a heritage of over thirtyfive years specialising in the frontend phases of engineering projects from prefeasibility up to and including preliminary Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phases. In addition we undertake small FEEDs as well as providing specialist consultancy to later through to phases of projects. The frontend nature of the work means that we are often involved in developments in areas and technologies new to the engineering industry.

With clients ranging from large internationals to smaller independent companies we are currently heavily involved globally in the transition from oil and gas to other sources of energy (including hydrogen and ammonia) decarbonisation production of biofuels and the move towards minimal manning of offshore production facilities. Other projects include strategy / master plan development (Decisioneering process) financial modelling product & energy optimisation maximising asset performance and petrochemical integration.

Over the years KBR has provided support for some of the largest industry capital investments in modern times. Moreover KBR has acted as lenders advisor on well over 200 projects for a broad range of clients and financial institutions across many sectors including upstream and downstream oil and gas speciality chemicals mining biofuels pulp and paper power and general infrastructure.

The subsea and pipeline engineering discipline covers onshore pipelines offshore pipelines and subsea engineering. Subsea and pipeline engineers use their technical expertise and problemsolving skills to find optimum technical solutions whilst working alongside other engineering disciplines to ensure a robust economic and safe design. Subsea and pipeline engineers gain exposure to design construction and operation aspects including in many cases stateofthe art design approaches.
