Subsea Pipeline Engineer (Installation & Construction)

ISS International SpA is seeking a highly skilled Subsea Pipeline Engineer (Construction & Installation) to support the offshore execution of a multiphase sealine.

Roles And Responsibilities

Pipeline Manufacturing & Metallurgy (CRA Focus)

• Oversee pipeline manufacturer conditions, ensuring adherence to project specifications for Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA).
• Verify manufacturing, inspection, and testing protocols for Mechanically Lined Pipe (MLP), Hot Roll Bonded (HRB) clad pipes, and Weld Overlay (WOL) components.
• Manage technical risks associated with thermal expansion mismatch and metallurgical bonding during the fabrication and reeling of CRA pipes.

Construction & Installation Oversight

• Monitor and supervise daily offshore pipelay operations (S-Lay, J-Lay) aboard contractor vessels for the multiphase line.
• Direct and approve welding methodologies specifically for subsea tie-in spools and risers connecting to the brownfield Sabratha platform.
• Review and consent to the EPCI Contractor’s Installation Manuals, Method Statements, and lay-ability analyses (e.g., tension settings, stinger configurations).
• Oversee critical offshore operations including shore approach pull-ins, A&R (Abandonment & Recovery), and subsea tie-ins (PLETs, PLEMs, ILTs).

Trenching & Seabed Intervention

• Evaluate and oversee the contractor's method to perform trenching between the two platforms across the subsea route at ~100m water depth.
• Verify the selection of seabed intervention equipment (plows, mechanical trenchers) based on geotechnical data and pipe protection requirements.

Detailed Engineering Review (Phase 2 Readiness)

• Review detailed pipeline structural and installation analysis (on-bottom stability, free span, buckle initiation) submitted by EPCM contractors.
• Interface & Contractor Management.
• Resolve technical queries (TQs) regarding offshore welding, NDT, and Field Joint Coating (FJC) applications for CRA and clad pipes.
• Ensure company standards are not compromised by contractor schedule pressures during critical offshore tie-ins.

Qualifications, Experience, Knowledge And Skills

• Bachelor of Science Degree (BSc) in Mechanical, Marine, or Pipeline Engineering.
• Work experience of twelve (12) years in the Oil & Gas sector, with at least seven (7) years specifically dedicated to offshore pipeline installation and construction oversight.
• Proven field and manufacturing experience with CRA cladding technologies (MLP, HRB, WOL).
• Strong practical knowledge of deep-water trenching methodologies, tie-in spool fabrication, and riser installation.
• Demonstrated capability in detailed offshore pipeline analysis (software familiarity such as Abaqus, CAESAR II, or SESAM is an advantage).
• Good command of English.
