SPS Lead Umbilical Engineer

Project Scope:

• Production System: 2 rings, 4 Steel Lazy Wave Risers (~25 km), 6 wet insulated rigid flowlines (71 km), 4 rigid spools (CS/CRA lined), and 19 rigid jumpers (Duplex).
• Gas Injection System: 2 SLWR (~12 km), 2 rigid flowlines (35 km), and 19 TCP jumpers (~19 km total).
• Control System: 2 dynamic umbilicals, 27 static umbilicals, 2 SDUs, 38 XTs, and associated subsea structures

Technical Leadership & Engineering:

• Lead FEED umbilical engineering activities and manage FEED contractor technical deliverables.
• Prepare and deliver the umbilical sub-system technical package (2 dynamic + 27 static umbilicals) for the SURF EPCI Contract.
• Review, validate, and ensure fitness-for-purpose of SURF Tenderers’ technical offers.
• Lead technical clarifications with tenderers and ensure timely closure of technical qualifications.

Design & Installation Support:

• Define, develop, and maintain all technical documentation related to umbilical design and installation (SOR, FDP, PEP, PQP, risk assessments).
• Supervise and control detailed engineering by reviewing contractor documentation (technical queries, derogation requests) to ensure compliance with Project Specifications, international norms (DNV), and TotalEnergies standards.
• Proactively propose alternative designs or technical solutions to optimize hook-up loads, dynamic umbilical fatigue, and interference with SLWR/mooring lines.

Contractor & Supplier Management:

• Act as the technical referent for umbilical matters and follow up with suppliers (bend stiffeners, bend restrictors, buoyancy, VIV strakes).
• Ensure technical compliance throughout the project lifecycle (engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing, installation).
• Monitor SURF Contractor progress and supplier activities, analyzing deviations and proposing remedial solutions.

Interface & Collaboration:

• Liaise with other package teams (SPS, FPSO, Field Operations) to resolve interface matters.
• Support the SURF Technical Manager and Subsea Manager in Call for Tender, evaluation, and contract management.
• Participate in Project Reviews and Installation Phase (tests, commissioning, handover).

H3SE & Quality Assurance:

• Ensure H3SE&Q compliance in all umbilical-related activities.
• Highlight potential deviations and ensure safe working practices are implemented.
• Gather lessons learned and contribute to the close-out report.

Technical Skills:

• Umbilical design and installation (dynamic & static).
• Interface management (SPS, FPSO, Field Operations).
• Contractor and supplier follow-up (technical compliance, QA/QC).
• Familiarity with Orcaflex, Mathcad, AutoCAD (for installation studies and design).

Soft Skills:

• Positive, constructive, proactive, and pragmatic mindset.
• Strong team player with the ability to work in a multicultural and complex environment.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.
• Ability to work with multiple stakeholders (contractors, suppliers, HQ technical teams).

Languages:

• Fluent English (mandatory).
