• Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement of internal specifications
• Occasionally support onshore pipeline design and reviews as needed

Technical Requirements

• Minimum 10 years of experience in rigid pipeline and riser design (offshore shallow and deep water)
• Solid understanding of onshore pipeline engineering
• Proficient in relevant offshore and onshore design codes:
  • DNV ST F101, DNV ST F201
