Lead Pipeline Engineer / France

A leading energy company searching for a Lead Pipeline Engineer to join them on a contract basis in Paris.

This is to support a deep water project that will be developed as a subsea tie-back.

The service holder shall oversee all Engineering design, Equipment and Materials selection of Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces during the FEED, CFT and EPCI preparation phases.

ACTIVITIES
General
* Liaise daily with counterpart on Contractor side to monitor the progress of FEED deliverables, anticipate / highlight delays and propose corrective actions when needed.
* Assist to manage matters on SOR changes, technical queries, and derogations to General Specifications, related to Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (including DEH system, existing facilities, flow assurance, etc.).
* Assist in managing all Pipeline interfaces with all other concerned FEED packages (Topsides, SPS, DEH, Flow Assurance, Safety and Field Operations etc...)
* Provide technical support as necessary to the SURF team on all matters relating to Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (including DEH system, existing facilities, flow assurance, etc.).

FEED
* Reviewing and approving FEED documents concerning Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (including DEH system, existing facilities, flow assurance, etc.). - typically including but not limited to Flowlines and rigid spools Mechanical design, Flowline expansion analysis, route optimization and field layout, on-bottom Stability Analysis, ECA, Lateral Buckling/Pipe-Walking Analysis, Free Span Analysis, Cathodic Protection design, Installation, Construction, Pre-commissioning, and Commissioning Feasibility/Analyses etc.
* Assisting, in Qualification activities as may be required pertaining to the relevant components of the flowline system including DEH interfaces.
* Assisting in resolution of interface issues as necessary, involving SPS, electrical heating system, installation, hook-up, pre-commissioning, commissioning etc., including the existing facilities.
* Assisting in analysis of Contractor technical queries and deviation requests and preparation of comments and proposed answers to these queries
* Ensuring that Pipeline Engineering activities are performed in line with Contract requirements, Project Specifications, General Specifications (prepare proper derogations, if required), and the Schedule during the FEED.
* Ensuring that HSE requirements are taken into consideration during design
* Liaising with other Team engineers to ensure technical consistency of all interfacing systems constituting the development as well as the existing facilities, in particular the flowline electrical heating system, flow assurance, fabrication and installation feasibility, SIMOPS, pre-commissioning/commissioning etc.
* Liaising with HQ Specialists, or third parties, when required, for specific topics (such as geotechnics, hydrodynamics, structural, material & welding, corrosion & coating, etc.) to ensure that these topics are adequately addressed when they concern the Flowlines and rigid spools system.
* Getting feedback from other deepwater projects on Flowline Systems (and associated ancillaries).
* Participating in various technical reviews (Hazids, Hazops, Project Technical Reviews etc…) and ensuring implementation of recommendations as necessary
* Other tasks as assigned by hierarchies.

Call For Tender & EPCI Preparation
* Collaborate with the SURF & Contract team to ensure that EPCI Contract Exhibits include all necessary requirements related to Pipeline, associated structures, rigid spools and associated ancillaries.
* Assist in preparation of relevant elements of Invitation to Tender and Technical evaluation criteria.
* Assist in timely review of Pipeline related technical deliverables submitted by Tenderers
* Advise the SURF team on all non-compliance, risks, inconsistencies in the contractors' submission
* Assist in answering / closing Contractors' technical clarifications/qualifications
* Assist in performing technical evaluation of Contractors' EPCI offer submissions
* Assist the preparation of the EPCI project execution plan with strong emphasis on the SURF execution - procurement, fabrication, transport, installation and pre-commissioning of the Flowline, associated structures, rigid spools system and associated ancillaries.
