Profile Marine Systems Engineer
Do you have experience turning FEED concepts into buildable, operable marine systems for FPSOs/FLNGs? Can you spot a missing interlock the moment you read a cause-and-effect?
-
We are looking for a Marine Systems Engineer to independently design and integrate marine and utility systems for FPSO/FLNG projects, coordinating across disciplines to ensure compliance with class rules, safety standards, budget, and schedule.
-
Tasks & responsibilities:
- Own the marine system scope (e.g., ballast, bilge, seawater/firewater, fuels/lubes, cooling, compressed air, utility and ship-support systems) from concept to detail design.
- Develop and review design basis, system descriptions, P&IDs, calculations, equipment lists, and technical specifications.
- Interface closely with Naval Architecture, Process, E&I, Piping, HVAC, Technical Safety, and Regulatory teams to resolve system interfaces.
- Prepare technical requisitions, perform technical bid evaluations, and support package/vendor selection.
- Review vendor documents, ensure proper integration of packages, and support FATs and inspections.
- Ensure designs comply with class and regulatory requirements (e.g., ABS, DNV, BV, LR) and applicable standards.
- Participate in HAZID/HAZOP/SIL/LOPA reviews and implement resulting actions in the design.
- Provide engineering support to shipyards and sites for mobilisation, installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
- Balance technology choices with cost, operability, maintainability, and constructability.
- Contribute to lessons learned, standardisation, and continuous improvement of methods and templates.
- Plan and prioritise deliverables, managing workload peaks and reporting progress to the project team.
- Collaborate across global offices; undertake short assignments or site visits as required.
Requirements Marine Systems Engineer
- Bachelor's/Master's (or equivalent) in Marine Engineering, Mechanical/Process Engineering, Higher Seafaring College, or General Operational Technology (AOT).
- 2+ years of experience in marine systems engineering and design (preferably across Pre-FEED, FEED, and Detail).
- Proven exposure to floating units such as FPSO/FSO, FLNG, oil & gas carriers, chemical tankers, drill ships/semis, or TLPs.
- Solid understanding of discipline interfaces (Naval, E&I, Piping, HVAC, Process, Technical Safety & Regulatory).
- Familiarity with classification society rules and HSSE principles.
- Advantageous: experience with shipyards/shipboard operations and marine equipment vendors; LNG carrier engineering/operation exposure.
- Ability to specify equipment and critically assess vendor solutions for technical fitness and commercial impact.
- Experience in HAZID/HAZOP/SIL/LOPA workshops and implementing outcomes.
- Proficient with common engineering and CAD/design tools; strong technical writing and documentation skills.
- Stakeholder-focused, decisive, proactive, resilient, and adaptable; effective communicator in English.
- Willingness to travel and accommodate occasional workload peaks.
