Structural Engineer – Fabrication (Steel Structures)

Job Overview

The Structural Engineer Fabrication (Steel Structures) is responsible for the design validation technical coordination and engineering support related to steel structure fabrication and modular assembly.
Operating within Saipems Fabrication Systems (FABSI) department the Structural Engineer Fabrication (Steel Structures) ensures that engineering design is accurately translated into fabrication deliverables supporting constructability modularization and dimensional control throughout all project phases within the fabrication environment collaborates with design production and quality teams to ensure alignment between engineering requirements and fabrication capabilities.
The role demands advanced technical expertise in steel structures welding specifications fabrication standards and material behavior under various loading and environmental conditions.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities

• Review and validate structural design deliverables ensuring compliance with project specifications fabrication standards and constructability criteria.
• Interface with Fabrication Engineering Production and QC/QA and Construction teams to translate design intent into efficient fabrication sequences and assembly plans.
• Perform structural analysis checks and provide technical solutions to fabrication-related issues such as tolerances distortions and weld sequencing.
• Review and approve fabrication drawings connection details and assembly procedures in collaboration with steel detailers and drafting teams.
• Ensure all structural components meet applicable codes and standards (AISC AWS D1.1 ISO 9013 EN 1090 ).
• Supervise or verify dimensional control activities to ensure the accuracy of assemblies and modules before erection or shipment.
• Coordinate with Quality Control to validate welding procedures inspection requirements and traceability documentation.
• Coordinate with the Fabrication Engineering Unit to implement design modifications ensuring proper implementation and documentation of design modifications.
• Prepare and maintain engineering registers calculation files and technical reports for project documentation.

Qualifications and Education

• Technical Diploma or bachelors degree in Structural Civil or Mechanical Engineering.
• 510 years of experience in structural engineering and steel fabrication within oil & gas offshore or heavy industrial projects.
• Proven experience with Tekla Structures or equivalent structural design and analysis software.
• Comprehensive knowledge of international fabrication standards (AISC AWS EN 1090 ISO 3834 ).
• Understanding of fabrication workflows and data integration with fabrication management systems.
• Ability to review and validate shop drawings connection details .
• English Proficiency in technical documentation and communication.
• Strong organizational skills and accuracy in document/data management.
• Knowledge of structural materials welding techniques and fabrication tolerances.
• Understanding project documentation revisions and approval processes.

Preferred Attributes

• Experience in modular design and assembly of large steel structures.
• Familiarity with modular fabrication (PAU PAR topsides) and constructability engineering principles
• Capability to manage multidisciplinary interfaces and technical coordination across engineering and fabrication teams.
• Knowledge of advanced simulation tools for structural analysis and lifting studies.
• Proactive attitude toward continuous improvement and fabrication optimization.
• Knowledge about mandatory HSE requirements included below-the-hook lifter devices for steel structure rigging and transportation activities and about Temporary Structures (scaffolding).
• Ability to mentor junior engineers and support training in fabrication-focused structural engineering.
