About The Position

The OSS Senior Welding Engineer will be responsible for reviewing welding procedures in accordance with OneSubsea WS (welding specification), welding design basis, functional design specifications, customer specifications, and industry codes and standards. This role requires the ability to manage large projects (200M+) with complex technical requirements globally for demanding customers. The engineer will prepare welding specifications, write and qualify welding procedures according to industrial codes/standards, regulatory guidelines, and customer requirements. A deep understanding of welding is needed to interface with QA, product engineering, and manufacturing to resolve welding issues and ensure compliance with rigorous industry and customer-specific welding requirements. The position also involves establishing high-level contacts and coordinating with personnel from other agencies, engineering personnel, or clients to exchange ideas, information, or provide technical advice on welding matters. Additionally, the role supports product engineers in weldment design, offering guidance on joint design, non-destructive testing, and selection of appropriate welding specifications. The engineer will also assist product engineers in the disposition of discrepant parts requiring weld repair and disposition of non-conformances. Participation in design reviews is expected to ensure designs are optimized for welding and that customer requirements are reflected in bills of material through the assignment of proper WS. Understanding the project welding engineering document lifecycle and proficiency in MS Excel, Word, and Access are also required.
