Specialist Pipeline Engineer – Offshore FEED Project

FEED Engineering & Design Lead and review FEED deliverables related to offshore pipelines, subsea flowlines, and risers. Ensure pipeline routing, sizing, wall thickness design, and material selection meet ADNOC Offshore standards. Verify compliance with applicable codes (ASME B31.4/B31.8, DNV-ST-N001, DNV-ST-N002, API standards). Evaluate design philosophies for installation, pre-commissioning, and commissioning. PMC Oversight & Contractor Management Review and approve EPC contractor FEED deliverables, calculations, and specifications. Ensure contractor adherence to Client specifications, HSE policies, and quality standards. Participate in technical bid evaluations and vendor document reviews. Monitor engineering progress, identify risks, and ensure timely resolution of technical issues. Pipeline Integrity & Technical Assurance Ensure integrity management is embedded in design (corrosion protection, cathodic protection, coatings). Review stress analysis, fatigue analysis, and upheaval/lateral buckling studies. Validate design for piggability, maintenance, and long-term operability. Ensure proper design for tie-ins, crossings, and subsea interfaces. Interface & Multidisciplinary Coordination Coordinate with process, subsea, structural, geotechnical, and marine engineering teams. Interface with HSE, QA/QC, and project controls teams. Support alignment between pipeline systems and offshore facilities (platforms, wellheads). Risk & Safety Considerations Support HAZID, HAZOP, and constructability reviews. Identify pipeline-specific risks (e.g., external damage, thermal expansion, free spans). Ensure ALARP principles are applied in design. Installation & Constructability Review Assess installation methods (S-lay, J-lay, reel-lay). Review installation studies, vessel requirements, and offshore execution strategies. Evaluate seabed conditions, route surveys, and geotechnical data. Documentation & Reporting Review pipeline design basis, specifications, and engineering reports. Provide regular updates to ADNOC Offshore PMC management. Maintain technical registers, action trackers, and compliance documentation. Qualifications & Experience Education Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical / Pipeline Engineering or equivalent. Master’s degree is an advantage. Technical Expertise Strong knowledge of: Offshore pipeline design & subsea engineering DNV, ASME, API codes and ADNOC standards Pipeline stress and integrity analysis tools Experience in shallow water offshore projects in the Middle East is an advantage. Key Skills & Competencies Strong technical leadership and engineering judgment Excellent design review and problem-solving abilities Strong understanding of ADNOC specifications and PMC processes Effective stakeholder and contractor management skills High attention to detail and risk awareness Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Quality and timeliness of FEED deliverables review Compliance with ADNOC standards and specifications Effective management of contractor engineering performance Identification and mitigation of design risks Successful integration of pipeline systems with offshore facilities Experience Minimum Overall 15+ years of experience in the oil and gas sector. Minimum 5–7 years in offshore FEED / detailed engineering projects.
