Offshore Oil & Gas, Subsea Infrastructure Project Overview :

We are supporting a large-scale offshore oil and gas redevelopment project focused on subsea system enhancements, infrastructure modernization, and field extension activities. The project spans engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning phases with a strong focus on subsea umbilical systems, power cable routing, and integration with topside and drilling systems. Role Overview :

The

Senior Mechanical Engineer (Umbilical & Power Cable)

will be responsible for providing expert engineering support across all project stages—from concept and FEED through detailed design and execution. This role plays a vital part in subsea infrastructure development, ensuring full lifecycle delivery, technical integrity, and integration with broader offshore facilities. Key Responsibilities :

Lead and manage mechanical design activities related to subsea umbilicals, power cables, and associated control systems. Execute engineering across all project phases including feasibility, FEED, detailed design, construction, and commissioning. Conduct and review analyses involving lateral buckling, on-bottom stability, routing, free spans, risers, spools, and installation. Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure delivery of engineering scopes on time and to specification. Oversee the development and review of method statements, work packs, and deliverables for engineering and offshore execution. Act as a technical focal point for subsea systems, supporting interface management with contractors, topsides, drilling, and O&M teams. Ensure technical assurance processes, internal standards, and safety protocols are fully implemented. Support testing and FAT programs to assure interface compatibility and system integrity pre-installation. Provide coaching and mentoring to junior engineers and support overall knowledge development within the team. Requirements :

Education : Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering. Chartered or Professional Engineer status preferred. Experience : Minimum

15 years

of engineering experience post-graduation. At least

10 years in offshore oil & gas

with a focus on subsea systems. Strong background in pipeline / subsea mechanical design, including umbilicals and power cables. Familiarity with offshore analysis software such as

AUTOPIPE, CAESAR, Orcaflex, SAGE, ABAQUS

is highly desirable. Experience in the development of engineering deliverables including wall thickness, expansion, coatings, riser clamps, and crossing designs. Technical Skills : Deep knowledge of offshore engineering codes and standards. Understanding of installation techniques and project risks related to subsea construction. Fluent in English with strong communication and leadership skills. Proficient in engineering documentation, project scheduling, and stakeholder coordination. Preferred Candidate Profile :

Prior experience supporting brownfield offshore redevelopment projects. Available for immediate or short-notice mobilization. Able to provide both onshore and offshore technical support during construction and commissioning phases. Visa, travel, and accommodation will be arranged for successful candidates. Applications from both local and international candidates are welcome.
