About The Position

This role involves conducting engineering activities for Well Access products, ensuring delivery within budget and timelines. The engineer will provide technical guidance for innovative and cost-effective solutions, resolve operational issues, and identify technology development opportunities to improve efficiency and safety. Responsibilities include ensuring compliance with industry standards, mentoring junior engineers, and generating system engineering documents. The role also requires analyzing, designing, developing, and sustaining assets/products/kits, particularly intervention equipment, with a focus on analytical calculations and computational models like finite element analysis. The engineer will also contribute to standards such as ISO 13628-7, ISO 13625-5, API 6A, API 17G, and API 5CT, and interface with manufacturing shops to resolve non-conformances. Providing updates to stakeholders, authoring reports, and creating training materials are also key aspects of the position.

Requirements

Bachelor, Masters, PHD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace or similar
4- 6 years' experience with emphasis in product design/development
Prior experience working with analytical and computational packages (eg. Finite Element Analysis package, CAD packages)

Nice To Haves

Experience in well intervention equipment and/or operations is a plus
Oil & Gas, Subsea, pressure vessels

Responsibilities

Conduct engineering activities for Well Access products.
Deliver within the allocated budget and timelines for the engineering tasks.
Provide technical guidance to generate innovative and cost-effective solutions to develop or sustain Well Access Products, systems, or procedures.
