Offshore Structural Design Engineer

We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Offshore Design Engineer with 26 years of

experience in mechanical and structural design for offshore applications. The role involves

supporting the engineering team in developing 3D models, performing structural/FEA

assessments, and preparing lifting & handling plans for offshore equipment and operations.

Key Responsibilities

Develop comprehensive 3D models and engineering designs for mechanical and

structural components using SolidWorks.

Prepare detailed lift plans, including rigging equipment selection, ensuring all lifting

configurations meet project safety and engineering requirements.

Review lift plans for compliance with preferred industry standards and codes

(DNV, API, ISO, client specifications), ensuring safe, practical, and code-compliant

lifting operations.

Perform structural calculations and engineering assessments for various

components after evaluating their load paths, functional behavior, interface

connections, and operational constraints.

Conduct FEA and structural/fatigue analysis using ANSYS Workbench and

Mathcad, generating analytical justification and ensuring design soundness.

Execute local structural checksincluding weld strength, bolt sizing, pin

shear/bearing verification, padeye design, lug analysis, and connection detailing

strictly in line with applicable offshore standards.

Carry out feasibility studies using CAD models, fabrication drawings, and

engineering data to assess constructability, installation methods, rigging

requirements, and overall technical viability.

Interpret and verify fabrication drawings, ensuring dimensional accuracy,

manufacturability, and compliance with engineering and client requirements.

Collaborate in material handling studies and support the development of

engineering documents related to lifting, rigging, and transportation operations.

Conduct crane load calculations per relevant standards and execute structural

assessment of crane booms and related load-bearing elements.

Perform crane life extension studies, assessing structural fatigue, accumulated

load history, and compliance with updated operational criteria.

Develop modular, lightweight design solutions focused on improved

manufacturability, ease of installation, weight optimization, and enhanced

operational efficiency.

Prepare high-quality technical reports, calculation packages, design documents,

and engineering deliverables in accordance with project and industry standards.

Participate actively in design reviews, supporting the evaluation of structural

integrity, design adequacy, installation feasibility, and fabrication readiness.

Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams in projects involving lifting

engineering, rigging studies, structural design, and equipment assessments.

Continuously learn and adopt new tools, standards, and design methodologies to

support evolving project scopes and enhance engineering capability.
