Job Description

About the Role

As an Early Engagement Engineer in End Fitting Supply (EFS), you will play a key role at the point where project success is defined: early project development. You will work closely with customers, sales, and internal engineering disciplines to shape technically sound, safe, and competitive solutions from initial concept through Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and tendering stage of projects.

Your primary focus will be during tendering and FEED stage, where you will act as the technical bridge between customer requirements, commercial objectives, and engineering feasibility for EFS related scope. In this role you will be accountable for:

• Supporting project scope definition, including cost, time, and resource (CTR) estimates
• Conducting technical feasibility studies and early technical assessments
• Reviewing customer technical requirements and specifications, identifying gaps and risks and proposing mitigation strategies
• Aligning technical solutions with Sales and other technical subject-matter stakeholders
• Liaising with cost specialists to ensure accurate cost input to project baselines
• Foster strong collaboration across multidisciplinary teams before formal design phases
• Supporting customers during early project phases and through selected after-sales activities

About the Department

The End Fitting Supply (EFS) team is responsible for development, manufacturing and mounting of all end fitting connectors that will mount on our pipe ends. Those are responsible to connect the well head to the platform and in some cases provide monitoring tools for the whole pipeline.
