Our globally connected teams collaborate across regions and disciplines to solve complex engineering challenges and deliver world-class end-to-end solutions.
Explore opportunities to be part of our dynamic team at the Energy Plant Unit and contribute to groundbreaking projects that redefine the onshore and offshore industry. #OneEPU
"Build, what matters. Grow, without limits. Power, the future with Hanwha Ocean EPU."
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced and technically proficient Lead Mooring Engineer to join our dynamic Global Projects Office (GPO) division. The ideal candidate will bring experience in the design, analysis, and installation of permanent mooring systems for floating offshore structures operating in deep and ultra-deepwater environments.
This role will support engineering teams globally across Conceptual, Pre-FEED, FEED, and EPCI project phases, specifically for floating platforms such as FPSOs, FLNGs, Semis, and TLPs. The Senior Engineer will work on the design and installation of various types of mooring and anchoring systems by performing the required engineering analyses, generating relevant procedures, documentation, supporting procurement and offshore execution of permanent mooring systems.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Review project specific requirements, prepare all inputs necessary for design and analysis of mooring systems for deepwater floating systems.
  • Prepare engineering design basis, technical specifications and design reports as needed.
  • Perform engineering analyses for in-place, towing, and installation of mooring and anchoring systems.
  • Review compliance of design and calculation results with applicable international codes, company standards, and client requirements.
  • Plan, prepare, and specify the necessary equipment and procedures for installation of mooring and anchoring systems.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders (EPMs, structural/geotechnical, equipment, hull, and drafting teams) and external clients and contractors/vendors to align technical deliverables with project objectives.

Technical Expertise & Responsibilities
  • Perform mooring system conceptual design, frequency-domain, and time-domain dynamic analysis.
  • Assess global performance and motion response of floating systems using metocean, environmental condition and oceanographic data.
  • Develop technical documentation including load reports, heading analysis, fatigue assessments, and motion studies.
  • Develop installation procedures including rigging / fit-up checks, task plans and equipment lists including development of specialized installation aids.
  • Review subcontracted hydrodynamic studies, model testing campaigns, and numerical analysis.
  • Evaluate technical proposals and bids for mooring components such as tensioning systems, stoppers, fairleads, chains, wire, synthetic ropes, connectors and anchoring systems.
  • Develop and maintain Hanwha Ocean's technical standards and procedures related to mooring system analyses.
  • Remain current with latest industry practices, materials, software tools, and regulatory updates.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Ocean, Offshore, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred).
  • Minimum of 10-20 years of experience in the offshore oil & gas industry, with at least 3 years of specific experience in mooring system analysis and installation of FPSOs and other floating offshore structures.
  • Experience with deepwater mooring systems and floating production facilities (FPSO, FLNG, Semi, TLP, etc.).
  • Good knowledge of mooring and anchor systems installation, preferably with offshore experience.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard software such as OrcaFlex, HydroStar, Ariane, SIMA, MOSES, DeepC, or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in developing pre- and post-processing tools with Python, Matlab and programming experience for process automation.
  • Experience in developing and analyzing mooring systems during Conceptual, Pre-FEED, FEED, or EPCI(O) phases.
  • Familiarity with international design standards (API RP 2SK, ISO 19901-7, DNVGL-RP-E301, etc.).
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Fluency in English is required; additional language skills are an asset.
