Marine System Expert-relocation to Shanghai

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly experienced Marine Systems Expert to join our team. The ideal candidates will possess extensive expertise in the design and engineering of marine systems for offshore floating units (e.g., FPSO, FLNG, FPU). The role requires in-depth knowledge of international classification society rules, industry standards, and the ability to independently develop and review technical deliverables throughout various project phases, from Pre-FEED to detailed design.

Key Responsibilities:

• Independently develop and review flow diagrams (UFDs), P&IDs, and system control descriptions for marine systems, utility systems, cargo handling systems (CHS), and other topside auxiliary systems for offshore projects.
• Perform thermal balance calculations for cooling/heating systems (e.g., cargo tank heating, steam/hot water heating, generator cooling).
• Calculate key equipment parameters and pipeline sizing for machinery space equipment, utility systems, safety/control valves, and special components.
• Analyze and balance utility consumption under various operating conditions of floating installations.
• Develop discharge criteria for wastewater/oily waste and technical specifications for marine systems.
• Ensure compliance with classification society rules and international regulations (e.g., SOLAS, ABS, DNVGL, BV, IGC, IGF).
• Lead Pre-FEED/FEED design activities and reviews, and support technical R&D and innovation in marine systems.
• Facilitate HAZOP/HAZID/LOPA studies and present outcomes effectively to clients.
• Participate in 3D model reviews and support issue resolution during construction and commissioning.
• Review interdisciplinary drawings (e.g., single-line diagrams, electrical load analyses, hazardous area classifications, PFP drawings, D&IDs).

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Marine Engineering, Thermal and Power Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 15 years of experience in basic and detailed design within the oil & gas and offshore industry.
• Proven experience with offshore projects (FPSO/FLNG/FPU) and deep knowledge of international standards (e.g., API, IGC, SOLAS).
• Proficiency in performing and leading HAZOP/HAZID studies (minimum 5 projects).
• Strong skills in system optimization, risk assessment, and CAPEX/OPEX evaluation.
• Expertise in using PIPENET and HYSYS at an advanced level. Familiarity with AVEVA Diagram and AutoCAD is preferred.

Ideal Qualifications:

• Experience in FLNG topside design, interface management, vessel safety, and conversion projects.
• Background in risk analysis (HAZID/HAZOP/FMEA) and operational experience with marine vessels.
• Direct experience in cargo handling system design for FPSO, VLCC, LNGC, or FLNG.

Skills & Capabilities:

• Comprehensive understanding of project lifecycle stages from concept to operation and troubleshooting.
• Strong technical leadership skills with the ability to guide cross-disciplinary teams.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills for client engagements and technical discussions.

Software Proficiency:

• PIPENET, HYSYS, AVEVA Diagram, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD.
