Structural Engineer III

Job Summary

The Structural Engineer III is responsible for the structural design of steel structures related to offshore oil and gas and process facilities. This includes structural steel platforms, skids, risers, and tanks, as well as modification to existing structures and facilities. This involves computer modeling, using software such as SACS, of structures from conceptual engineering through construction. This also includes coordinating with and directing Designers and Drafters of structural and other disciplines to accomplish project tasks.

Responsibilities

• Conceptual, preliminary and detailed design, related to a variety of offshore, oil and gas facilities
• Perform analysis of structural systems utilizing SACS. Analysis types include: In-place, loadout, transportation, installation, fatigue, and non-linear (pushover)
• Design of structures and structural elements such as trunnions, mudmats, pipe and tray supports, pipe racks, skid shoes, jackets to pile connections
• Prepare RFIs
• Prepare CTRs
• Prepare reports as applicable
• Reference AISC, ASCE, API, AWS, and other industry and project specific standards and codes
• Interface with Project Managers and interdisciplinary teams (engineering and drafters) as well as project services groups such as document control, project controls and procurement
• Research, learn and implement differing design techniques which may be industry specific
• Perform the necessary field work to obtain accurate information for the design

Qualifications

• BS in Structural or Civil Engineering required
• For candidates with engineering degrees attained outside the U.S., the candidate must have attained an E.I.T. designation from a U.S. based state licensing board
• P.E. designation strongly preferred
• Requires five (5) years' experience with less than ten (10) years' experience in design of offshore oil and gas facilities
• Knowledge and experience utilizing structural design codes including AISC, ACI and ASCE design guidelines
• Ability to utilize applicable engineering software such as SACS and STAAD
• Ability to complete discipline related duties independently
• Ability to complete tasks that are client/project specific with high level direction
• Familiarity with total project systems which would include mechanical, structural, civil and electrical components to allow consideration of those aspects in design
• Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously
• Ability to interact with all levels of staff (support, interdisciplinary project teams, management, etc.)
• Strong written and verbal communications skills
• May require the ability to work overtime or travel to offsite work locations
