Senior Engineer- Industrialisation

Reference: 16054 Start Date: Immediate Description: How will you take it further as an Industrialisation Engineer As a major employer in the dynamic and expanding subsea sector, we offer exciting opportunities for talented individuals to play a part in delivering subsea excellence to our clients. A career with Technip gives successful candidates the chance to prosper in a high performance environment where world-class engineering and commercial professionals work on increasingly challenging subsea projects. Our subsea operations centre in Westhill, Aberdeen, has a workforce of over 1,200 talented individuals who collectively ensure that Technip retains its long standing status as the leading subsea engineering and construction contractor in the UK. Reporting line: Directly Reports to: Industrialisation Manager Directly Supervises: Potential for supervision of less senior team members Other Significant Interfaces Other team members OED - Other discipline teams Quality and HSE department Global Procurement Operational teams and spoolbases 3rdParty Suppliers to be qualified at industrialisation level Job purpose: The Industrialisation team is responsible for minimising the risks and uncertainties associated with new technologies and services which fall within the scope of expertise covered by the Offshore Engineering Division. Particular focus is given in the case of first time project implementation. For new supplier qualification, the role of the industrialisation team is to coordinate the efforts between different OED discipline teams, the QHSE team and Global Procurement (GP) to determine the capability of the supplier and to lead improvement activities to bring the supplier to suitable level to competence to supply to Technip globally. Such an exercise will typically involve a technical, quality, HSE and financial assessment of the new supplier. The key tool used to assess supplier capability and to agree any necessary improvement activities is the Failure Mode, Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), where Industrialisation takes the leading role in implementing the FMECA methodology at all new suppliers, as part of the FMECA team. In some instance, the industrialisation team will lead some manufacturing consistency trials, in collaboration with other OED discipline teams, as part of the qualification program. In the context of a new technology development, the industrialisation team will work with other OED disciplines from an early stage of development to provide input into the practical and operational implementation of the technology. This may involve development of specifications, identification of suppliers / manufacturers, development of trial procedures to help the transition from concept to prototype to fully industrialised status, including qualification of any specific assembly equipment or procedures, ready for utilisation by project teams globally. Furthermore, the team is tasked with consolidating and sharing best practices between different regions and spoolbases. This effort includes but is not limited to:

• Sharing, producing, maintaining, or pro-actively commenting upon specification documents produced by other OED discipline teams. The aim will be that such documents are produced to a consistent standard such that they can be readily used by all project teams or forwarded to clients or sub-contractors as necessary.
• Interface with the Welding & Material team and the different spoolbases to consolidate best rigid pipeline fabrication practice and pro-actively exchange lessons learnt with other operational teams. Best practice consolidation may lead to the consolidation of specific procedures.
• Involvement in any welding strategy efforts

Profile: Must have:

• Minimum MEng/MSc degree in an engineering discipline, with a strong preference for welding / material engineering technical specialisation
• Minimum of 6 to 7 years of relevant working experience
• Very strong preference for expert knowledge of FMECA and 6-sigma training
• Very strong preference for spoolbase / fabrication experience
• Very strong preference for O&G operational / project experience
• Strong preference for experience of interaction with 3rdparty suppliers and in particular pipe mills and / or coating suppliers.
• Strong preference for past experience / familiarity with technical review and auditing exercise
• Previous experience in leading a team and co-ordinating multi-stakeholders interaction (within company and with 3rdparties).
• Material, welding or construction technical knowledge is a strong plus.

Nice to have:

• Strong communication and team working skills
• Able to adapt personal approach to project management / implementation to suit different situations and when working with regional with different technical abilities

Main accountabilities: Management of Industrialisation / Qualification exercise(s) in line with Technip policy

• Efficient running of qualification
• Coordination of team with different qualification stakeholders
• Leading qualification programme
• Leading FMECA implementation internally and at 3rdparty suppliers
• Responsibility to deliver target activities within allocated budget
• Management of subcontractors, including work internally contracted to other Technip divisions
• The Industrialisation Engineer will be required to lead a number of different activities through the year in parallel to each other. Some may also overlap and in these cases the successful candidate will be responsible for avoiding duplication of efforts through consolidation of existing work

Interface with BUs, Global Procurement and Industry

• Interface with different corporate and regional stake holders to identify priorities in terms of industrialisation needs
• Interface with other OED discipline teams to understand emerging industrialisation needs
• The above interfaces will enable a stronger business case input to support any qualification proposal
• A number of R&D initiatives are expected to involve the industrialisation team as part of the full technology development - this may also include pro-actively leading design FMECA activities internally and, in some cases, externally

Consolidate and Share Information with Operational teams and Spoolbases

• Collect, consolidate and share new or best spoolbase pipe assembly practices (procedures, tools, approaches)
• Consolidate procurement specifications, in collaboration with other OED discipline teams and global procurement.
