Senior Pipeline Installation Engineer
First seen by Alion on Sep 5, 2026.
At Allseas, Pipeline Engineering is at the heart of some of the world's most challenging offshore construction projects. The department develops the installation methods and engineering solutions that enable safe and efficient transport and installation of offshore pipelines and subsea infrastructure.
Our work extends far beyond pipeline installation alone. We engineer complex offshore operations involving pipelines, manifolds, tees, and other subsea structures that often require years of preparation before reaching the offshore execution phase.
Working closely with project teams, vessel crews and clients worldwide, we combine advanced engineering analysis with practical execution knowledge to develop installation methods that can be safely and successfully carried out offshore. By leveraging our unique fleet of construction vessels and decades of offshore expertise, we continuously push the boundaries of what is technically possible in offshore pipeline installation.
