Global Mooring Intern

Responsibilities

• Work under the supervision of a Project Engineer within the Global Mooring team to support the development of a standardized vessel capability assessment tool.
• Create an Excel‑based application (with potential Visual Basic automation) that evaluates and compares installation vessel deck layouts and operational capabilities for a range of mooring project scopes using data from recent and ongoing projects.
• Assess vessel suitability for activities including:
  • Pile installation (vertical and horizontal deployment)
  • Mooring line pre‑lay operations
  • Mooring line hook‑up to host facilities
  • Mooring line tensioning using Chain Jacks, BarLatch systems, or In‑Line Tensioners (ILT)
  • Host towing and station‑keeping operations
• Collaborate with engineers to gather, organize, and analyze vessel and project data, develop practical engineering tools, and gain exposure to offshore installation methodologies and project execution strategies.
• Present the completed tool, findings, and recommendations to relevant stakeholders at the conclusion of the internship.
