Project Engineer CivilStructural

Position Overview

The Project Engineer Civil & Structural is responsible for planning coordinating and managing all civil structural and architectural engineering activities for offshore EPC projects including design review fabrication load-out transportation and offshore installation.

The role ensures that all civil and structural works such as platform jackets decks piles topsides and modular structures are executed in compliance with project specifications safety standards and client requirements.

Reports to: Civil/Structural Lead Engineer / Project Engineering Manager / Project Manager

Key Responsibilities

1. Engineering & Design Coordination

• Review and manage civil and structural engineering deliverables including general arrangement drawings structural models foundation layouts pile drawings and load-out drawings.
• Coordinate with design consultants and internal engineering teams to ensure structural integrity weight control and constructability.
• Verify compliance with project specifications offshore codes and standards such as API RP 2A AISC BS EN DNV ISO and NORSOK.
• Conduct design reviews and provide inputs for design optimization and modularization.
• Review vendor drawings for structural steel gratings handrails and other structural components.

2. Construction & Offshore Support

• Supervise structural fabrication and assembly at the yard including fit-up welding and dimensional control.
• Review and approve fabrication drawings method statements and lifting/erection procedures.
• Support offshore installation activities including load-out sea fastening transportation and offshore lifting operations.
• Conduct site inspections and ensure construction works are carried out in compliance with approved drawings quality standards and HSE regulations.
• Support completion and handover of structural systems during pre-commissioning and mechanical completion phases.

3. Interface & Coordination

• Interface with mechanical electrical and piping teams to ensure alignment of supports penetrations and routing clearances.
• Coordinate with marine and installation teams to finalize load-out and lifting analyses.
• Liaise with client representatives certifying authorities (e.g. ABS BV DNV) and subcontractors for design verification and approval.
• Attend design and progress meetings to track status resolve issues and maintain clear communication among stakeholders.

4. Procurement & Material Management

• Prepare and review Material Requisitions (MR) Technical Bid Evaluations (TBE) and ensure timely procurement of structural materials.
• Coordinate with vendors and yard for material inspection receipt and preservation.
• Verify mill certificates welding consumables and offshore-grade material compliance.

5. Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain deliverable registers fabrication progress logs and weight control reports.
• Prepare daily/weekly progress updates and highlight critical issues affecting schedule or quality.
• Ensure as-built drawings inspection records and test reports are properly compiled for handover.
• Contribute to project completion dossiers and lessons-learned reports.
