Partner with the best
ASr. Subsea Well Access & Intervention Engineer frame subsea intervention and subsea well access concepts with enough practical detail to move from opportunity screening into credible execution planning. The Sr. Subsea Well Access & Intervention Engineer should have worked on real offshore projects that progressed from concept design and pre-FEED/FEED through execution, closeout, and performance or integrity monitoring. The role requires working knowledge of the individual products, systems, vessels, tooling, controls, ROV interfaces, well access methods, P&A technologies, and operational services that make up the subsea intervention value chain. Works closely with wells specialists to select the right technical approach and demonstrate a defensible techno-economic case to the client.
As a Sr. Subsea Well Access & Intervention Engineer, you will be responsible for:
- Subsea intervention strategy: Define subsea access and intervention concepts across riser-based, riserless, light well intervention, P&A, inspection, maintenance, and offshore lifecycle scopes.
- Technical feasibility: Assess operating envelopes, water depth, metocean, wellhead and tree interfaces, tooling compatibility, ROV requirements, vessel spread, and equipment availability.
- Full value-chain product knowledge: Understand the practical role and limitations of subsea trees, wellheads, controls, intervention systems, riserless packages, light well intervention systems, ROV tooling, vessels, P&A equipment, and offshore support services.
- Design-to-execution discipline awareness: Identify the wells, subsea, marine, controls, facilities, HSE, logistics, regulatory and commercial inputs required during design. Challenge missing data before a concept is positioned as executable.
- Execution and risk framing: Define offshore execution constraints, logistics, weather sensitivity, regulatory requirements, SIMOPS issues, HSE exposure, and risk mitigation measures.
- Techno-economic integration: Work with wells specialists to compare subsea intervention options, define cost and schedule drivers, and recommend the most appropriate value-based approach for mature offshore or decommissioning projects.
- Proposal differentiation: Translate subsea intervention capabilities into integrated proposals that demonstrate feasibility, execution confidence, cost discipline, and lifecycle value.
Fuel your passion
To be successful in this role you will:

- Have deep understanding of subsea trees, wellheads, intervention systems, tooling interfaces, ROV operations, vessel spreads, and offshore execution risk.
- Demonstrate proven ability to frame subsea intervention value propositions and defend techno-economic options with clients and leadership teams.
- Be able to work in cross-functional teams. Candidate will interface with multiple roles within the Baker Hughes’ and customers’ organizations.
- Be open to collaborating in multi-cultural environments.
- Demonstrate strong Problem-Solving & Critical Thinking skills: utilizing logic, creativity, and reasoning to assess complex challenges and develop effective solutions.
