Research Specialist

Mainly contribute to design and improve structural integrity of offshore

Top-Tensioned Risers (TTR), Steel Catenary Risers (SCR), mooring systems,

LNG transfer lines and floating platforms (Spar, Semi, TLP) in preserving

the uninterrupted operation of these devices, the safety of those working

on and around such platforms, and the environment in which such structures

are used. Development and technical support of computer models for

floater performance, strength evaluation and fatigue prediction of offshore

structures controlled by Technip.

Responsibilities: Design and analyze new floating platforms and compare

model test and field data with results predicted by various software

packages, run all floater, riser and mooring analysis programs, write

research reports, configure floating concepts, plan and run model tests,

write new analysis programs for new concepts. Develop and maintain the

deepwater floaters technology for the company. Develop new floater concepts

that will add value to clients and lower the costs of our Offshore

Facilities and thus increase our market share.
