Analysis Engineer

The focus of this role is product analysis which typically includes performing and/or reviewing mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses of cables and umbilicals, and associated hardware. This will be done to JDR and industry standard guidelines and will include the production of associated reports, calculations, and procedures.

Reporting to and working closely with experienced Analysis Engineers, there will also be the opportunity to be involved in the development of analysis methods, software and tools, and their implementation within the Technology, Engineering and Analysis teams.

• Perform analysis of cable and umbilical products for specific projects studies to evaluate if designs are fit for purpose
• Generate technical reports, notes, instructions, procedures, specifications, and calculations associated with the analysis of umbilical and cable products.
• Contribute and participate in the development, improvement, and implementation of company procedures and systems as necessary
• Present findings and demonstrate solutions to project challenges
• Working to a budget or time constraints, and/or managing a project
• Problem solving by undertaking investigations of alternative data variables, designs, configurations or hardware devices when required
• Review and comment on customer requirements, specifications and data to facilitate timely execution of analysis and prevent downstream process delays
• Progress work tasks you are assigned, often with challenging timescales, to endeavour to meet project schedules for on time delivery, with a core focus on quality and integrity
• Assist in the development of analysis rules, procedures, specifications, and tools associated with analysis of the umbilical and cable product to ensure traceability and consistency of methodology and continuous improvement
• Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders
• Clearly specify data and requirements to support any subcontracted analysis work scopes to meet client delivery and / or to support Tendering team queries for manufacturing or FEED (front end engineering design) opportunities
• Develop analysis methodologies and support their implementation within the department, to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the team and of the business

Although advantageous, specific software and energy industry experience is not a requirement as you will be supported through your role to develop analysis capabilities and knowledge.

You will have an aptitude and interest in analysis, and a general understanding of mechanical or electrical engineering.

• 2 years in a previous job role with an engineering component is essential
• Demonstrated experience in training or support less experienced team members as they complete engineering tasks
• Experience of FEA software (previous use of ORCAFLEX, COMSOL, SHEAR7, VIVANA, HELICA, UFLEX, ANSYS, ABACUS, INVENTOR FEA, NASTRAN, or similar tools would be beneficial, but training will be provided on software as needed)
• Demonstrate attention to detail and engineering judgement
• Proficiency in programming using Python or a similar language
• Demonstrated experience managing your own workload and competing demands on your time
• Exposure to discussing complex problem solving with external parties
• Be educated to degree level or equivalent
• Have strong communication skills, including proven experience of writing technical reports in English
• Enjoy and have strong problem solving skills
• Experience in design, engineering or analysis of cables, umbilicals, flexibles or rigid pipelines, moorings or floating platforms, or installation offshore of hardware or flexible products
• Exhibit an aptitude for mathematical software and spatial reasoning
• Understand the basic principles of FEA
• Exposure to manufacturing, testing or installation of equipment or products

The role is offered on a hybrid basis; with a mixture of days spent working from the office and at home.
