Pre-comm Equipment Tech Authority

What will you be doing?

The Pre-Commissioning Equipment Technical Authority is expected to contribute to creating a positive HSEQ culture within Subsea 7 and ensure familiarity with and adherence to local HSEQ codes and practices.

The Technical Authority plays a key technical leadership role within the global Subsea Pre-Commissioning Equipment Team, ensuring that equipment used in subsea pipeline operations meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and reliability. The role is responsible for the technical coordination of new equipment development, upgrades, and rationalization, as well as supporting the implementation of the global equipment strategy in coordination with the Subsea Pre-Commissioning Equipment Lead.

This position provides engineering oversight during project planning and execution, including the selection and specification of equipment, review of procedures, and development of standards and best practices. The Technical Authority interfaces closely with project teams, engineering, SCM, operations, and offshore personnel to ensure equipment readiness and operational excellence.
