The Principal Flow Assurance Engineer is part of the engineering team based in Paris and the wider global discipline engineering community they are associated with.
The Principal Flow Assurance Engineer will need to demonstrate relevant expertise in this discipline as per description below and is also expected to have additional competencies in CFD and/or Process allowing diversification of jobs in addition to Flow Assurance.
They should be able to perform engineering discipline tasks independently: analysis and report writing, requiring limited input and support from the Manager/Lead. Significant experience with the relevant simulation software for the discipline is a necessity for the role.
The work performed will be varied and activities include front end conceptual studies, detailed design and operational support activities often with direct interface with the Client. The role performs and sometimes leads engineering analysis to identify optimal solutions based on client drivers and be able to efficiently communicate these solutions through technical reports and presentations.
Main Accountabilities and Responsibilities
- Controls relevant discipline engineering activities to ensure completion of safe operable design and project requirements, relevant laws, regulations and codes.
- Reviews job scope and provides estimates and schedules.
- Communicates regularly with Client / Study Manager to ensure objectives are being met in a timely manner.
- Reviews all relevant discipline data.
- Interfaces with other engineering disciplines.
- Performs simulation of selected cases as defined by project.
- Undertakes calculations and project quality requirements.
- Develops engineering strategies, philosophies and procedures.
- Performs quality checks of discipline models, calculations and reports.
- Participates in project presentations to communicate results.
- Reviews all data requested by Client for approval.
- Participates in safety and design review meetings, where necessary.
- Provides support to younger engineers and mentor assigned personnel.
- Participates in Genesis global knowledge sharing initiatives within their engineering discipline.
- Performs all reasonable job tasks required by their Manager/Lead.
- Capacity to lead small discipline engineering teams and/or lead small projects.
- Sustain a high value Safety culture and assure a safe working environment programme and of Client requirements (in offices and on-site environments).
- To be responsible for follow-up and management of QHSE on projects and assigned personnel.
