We are looking for a technical engineering expert with strong offshore pipeline experience who can provide an independent opinion on design, constructability, installation methodology, and causation of technical issues.

• Hands-on experience with EPC design and offshore installation, including route selection, pipeline laying methods, risers, shore approach/landfall works, tie-ins, and pre-commissioning.
• Background with major offshore contractors or owners (e.g., exposure to similar large-scale subsea pipeline projects).

• Ability to assess and explain:
• Offshore pipeline design and constructability;
• Installation methodology and marine spread constraints;
• Pre-commissioning roles within EPC/JV frameworks;
• Technical causation and allocation of responsibility.

Engagement scope:
