Principal Subsea Engineer

The role is to support Advanced Pipeline FEA for Lateral buckling and walking analysis and ECA tasks. The Principal Subsea Engineer is responsible for interpreting internal or external business issues and recommending best practices. They will be tasked with solving complex Subsea-related problems and will work independently with minimal guidance. The Principal Subsea Engineer may lead functional teams or projects and is regarded as a specialist in Subsea. As such, they must have in-depth expertise in Subsea as well as broad knowledge of the Subsea discipline within the Engineering function.
