Project Engineer

Project Engineers are responsible for supporting the technical execution of Hunting Subsea projects. Activities include the design, analysis, testing, manufacturing and installation support through all phases of project development and deployment.

Responsibilities

• Design activities: creative brainstorming, proof‑of‑concept calculations, system layouts, top‑down assembly design, detailed component design and drafting.
• Analysis activities: classical handbook calculations, engineering spreadsheets, and Finite Element Analysis to determine structural integrity, stability, fatigue, and fracture in accordance with company practices and industry requirements.
• Testing activities: hands‑on involvement during internal verification programs and technical monitoring of external laboratories.
• Manufacturing support: direct interface with internal and external shops to promote efficient product development, mitigate non‑conformances, and provide disposition as necessary.
• Installation assistance: support for each product through installation, operation, repair, and decommissioning.
• Project planning: system layout and detail design, system analysis and verification, manufacturing support, documentation, reports, design reviews and customer presentations.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
