Senior Structural Engineer

Job Title: Senior Structural Engineer 
Location: Stavanger, Norway. 
Employment Type: Contract
Contract Duration: 12-month contract, with possible extension

About You

You’re an experienced and forward-thinking structural engineering professional with a strong background in offshore topside modifications and brownfield project environments. You bring extensive knowledge of structural design, analysis, and integrity management for offshore installations, with the ability to deliver safe, compliant, and fit-for-purpose solutions.

You’re confident using 3D modelling and digital engineering tools, communicate effectively across multidisciplinary teams, and provide sound engineering judgement to support modifications throughout design, fabrication, and installation phases. You thrive in collaborative environments and are committed to delivering engineering excellence with a focus on safety, quality, and operational efficiency.

About the Role

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you will play a key role in topside modification projects for a major client within the energy sector. You will lead structural design activities, perform complex structural analysis, and ensure engineering solutions comply with regulatory requirements, HSE standards, and fabrication and installation constraints. Working closely with designers, digital engineering specialists, and offshore teams, you will help drive safe and efficient project execution from concept through to implementation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead structural design and modification scopes for offshore topside modules and associated structures.

  • Perform structural analysis, load calculations, strength and fatigue assessments, and stability evaluations to support design integrity.

  • Develop and review 3D models and layouts using AVEVA E3D Design, ensuring accuracy of structural deliverables.

  • Collaborate with digital engineering teams to integrate design and operational data using platforms such as Integral or ix3.

  • Ensure all engineering work aligns with HSE standards, industry codes, class and regulatory requirements, and project specifications.

  • Prepare technical documentation including calculation reports, design basis, and review of drawings and fabrication details.

  • Work closely with fabrication and offshore construction teams to ensure designs are practical, installable, and cost-efficient.

  • Coordinate engineering inputs across disciplines (mechanical, piping, electrical, structural) to ensure seamless interfaces for project execution.

  • Provide engineering support during offshore installation and commissioning activities.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Structural, Mechanical, or Offshore Engineering.

  • Minimum 5–7 years’ experience in offshore topside structural design, brownfield modifications, or structural integrity engineering.

  • Proficiency in AVEVA E3D Design or equivalent 3D modelling tools.

  • Experience with digital twin or data-driven engineering platforms (e.g., Integral or ix3) is a strong advantage.

  • Strong understanding of fabrication, structural integrity, offshore construction, and installation considerations.

  • Excellent communication, leadership, and teamwork skills with the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders.

About the Company

You’ll be joining a respected engineering organisation delivering high-value technical services to major clients across the energy sector. Known for its commitment to safety, innovation, and engineering excellence, the company offers a collaborative and inclusive environment that supports growth, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.

What’s on Offer

  • Opportunity to work on high-profile offshore modification projects for a major client.

  • A supportive and collaborative engineering environment that values innovation and technical excellence.

  • 12-month contract with strong potential for extension.
