Marine Systems Engineer

Job Summary :

The Marine Systems Engineer will be responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of marine systems and equipment used in offshore oil and gas operations, including FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) units. The role requires a deep understanding of marine engineering principles, systems integration, and regulatory compliance to ensure the safe and efficient operation of marine assets.

Key Responsibilities :

• Design and develop marine systems, including ballast systems, seawater systems, cooling water systems, and fire-fighting systems, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate marine systems with topside process systems, ensuring compatibility and operational efficiency.
• Prepare and review engineering documentation such as technical specifications, system diagrams, calculations, and equipment data sheets.
• Perform system simulations, analysis, and performance evaluations to ensure optimal functionality and reliability of marine systems.
• Provide technical input and support during the construction, installation, commissioning, and startup phases of marine systems.
• Conduct troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and develop solutions for marine system issues that arise during operations.
• Ensure that all marine systems are designed in compliance with industry regulations, such as IMO, SOLAS, MARPOL, and classification society rules (ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s Register, etc.).
• Conduct inspections, audits, and risk assessments to ensure the integrity and safety of marine systems and equipment.
• Lead or support marine system upgrades, modifications, and retrofit projects, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
• Liaise with external contractors, vendors, and shipyards to ensure the correct specification and procurement of marine equipment and services.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of advancements in marine technology and best practices within the oil and gas industry.
• Provide technical mentoring and guidance to junior engineers and other team members.

Qualifications :

• Bachelor’s degree in Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• Minimum of 5-8 years of experience in marine systems engineering, preferably in the oil and gas or offshore industries.
• Familiarity with FPSO or similar offshore marine systems is highly desirable.
• Strong knowledge of marine systems design, including ballast, bilge, seawater cooling, and fire-fighting systems.
• Experience with marine system design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Hydromaster, ANSYS).
• Knowledge of international maritime regulations (IMO, SOLAS, MARPOL) and classification society standards (ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s Register).
• Experience with system integration and project management for marine systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and a proactive approach to system maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
