Transportation & Installation Engineer
DESCRIPTION
As a Transport & Installation Engineer, your main responsibilities will be to undertake analyses of lifting or transportation and installation of items associated with offshore wind construction work. You will expect to model structures subject to loading and support conditions considering operations onshore and offshore, onboard a variety of vessels and subject to various handling and installation devices. This is typically as part of our detailed design projects. To a lesser degree, and moderated by our workload and your appetite, it may include modelling and assessments of installation or in-service activities for floating offshore wind turbines.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Plan the analysis and assessment work and identify and collect the required input data.
- Prepare Design Basis documentation outlining design methodologies for review by third parties Build the required models, typically in a finite element package.
- Apply the loading consistent with the design basis, and run the models.
- Evaluate the analysis output, understanding the appropriate limits of stress or strain, and suggest changes to structure, handling methodology, analysis methodology, load factors or other, in order to achieve accurate and acceptable results. Quality check the work delivered.
- As a skilled analyst and designer, you will undertake tasks from time to time outside of the T&I team, such as pile driving dynamic analyses or evaluation of structural details in steel or concrete to derive stress concentration factors or design assessments for primary steel.
REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in structural or mechanical engineering
- Minimum 10 years’ experience in the offshore wind and/ or oil & gas project with minimum 5 years’ experience as T&I Engineer.
- Work Experience in undertaking T&I assessments in a structural environment for an engineering consultant or contractor.
- Have experience of using finite element software packages to undertake T&I assessments.
- You should be competent to carry out these kinds of analysis with minimal supervision;
- Have a good understanding of stress and strain in structures, and how the results of finite element analysis can be related to the physical reality of engineering materials.
- Are familiar with latest design codes and standards pertaining to the design of offshore structures, including those that specifically relate to finite element structural analysis.
- Are able to communicate effectively with colleagues, clients, consultants and contractors through a variety of media, including both web-based telecommunication and face-to-face meetings;
- Are a team player, and pro-active in your efforts to engage with others;
- Demonstrate a strong drive to fulfil your assignments, and a willingness to take the initiative when faced with opportunities to exceed expectations;
- Possess excellent numeracy, literacy, communication and interpersonal skills;
- Are fluent in the use of standard office software such as MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.
It is advantageous if you have experience of some of the following:
- Proven, relevant experience as a T&I engineer in the wind turbine industry;
- Creating Design Brief documentation to describe the methodology for your work;
- Other key discipline areas are structural design and naval architecture competency.
- Experience in offshore facilities at conceptual and pre-FEED stage is a plus.
