Within the "Risers, Installation Analyses and Umbilicals" (RIAU) department, you will be responsible for supporting various studies for both Renewable Projects and Oil and Gas Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF) projects, as well as various Internal Engineering Development:

Your main missions will be:

• Perform various Hydrodynamic Analyses for:
• Subsea 7 Vessels, Cargo Barges including generation of displacement RAO and exporting to another software version (e.g. into OrcaFlex), as well as generation of Load RAO and Sea State RAO.
• Offshore Wind Floater, Floating Energy Buoy
• CFD using Star-CCM+ to optimise the Hydrodynamics properties for in-place and installation conditions for Subsea 7 Vessel, Offshore Wind Structures, Floating Energy Buoy, Subsea Structures.
• Technology development and research projects

• Support various Projects and Tenders for:
• Towing Analysis of Subsea / Offshore Structures
• Lifting / Installation Analysis of Subsea / Offshore Structures
• Stability Analysis of Transportation Vessels (Cargo Barge, Heavy Lift Vessel)
• Motion screening of the floaters (FPSO, Installation Vessel etc.)
• Supervise and Review the Basin Model tests procedure and analyse the Test Data.
• Perform design analysis and review of permanent mooring (e.g. Floating Wind, FPSO, Floating Energy Converter etc.) and as well as temporary mooring systems.
• Advise for use of Metocean data for various Projects and Tenders.
• Advise for selection of Hydrodynamics Coefficient and VIV subjects for dynamic risers.

• Support various Internal Engineering Improvements initiatives for Hydrodynamics, CFD and moorings such as:
• Develop tools, guidelines, and templates.
• Develop Training Material and Supervise Trainees and Junior members of the team

Your profile

• MSc or PhD in Mechanical/Civil engineering/Naval Architecture/Hydrodynamics
• You have relevant work experience (12 years minimum) in the Oil and Gas industry.
• You are proficient in HydroStar, Star-CCM+ and OrcaFlex.
• Knowledge of relevant API (e.g. API-RP-2SK) and DNV (e.g. DNVGL-ST-N001) code.
• Coding in Python and VBA is desirable.
• Good communication skills in English, both verbally and written.

Working Conditions

• Majority of the work is carried out in the offices (Suresnes-France)
