Senior / Lead Subsea Systems Engineer

Wood is looking for an experienced Senior or Lead Subsea Systems Engineer to join our team in Norway. We have subsea hub offices in Stavanger and Oslo.

You'll become part of a team of close to 60 engineers in Norway and work closely with colleagues across the region. We support projects within oil and gas and energy transition, from early studies through detailed engineering, execution and operation. The role is based in Norway, and applicants must currently live and work in Norway.

Your role

In this role, you'll contribute to the delivery of subsea systems and field development solutions for a range of clients and projects. Wood is currently supporting some of the most technically challenging subsea developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including tiebacks, HPHT projects, deepwater developments and complex brownfield integration.

Your responsibilities will typically include:

• Providing subsea systems & facilities expertise to project and operations teams.
• Defining subsea system architecture across battery limits, from wellhead through to export point.
• Developing and maturing subsea field architecture concepts.
• Developing subsea area layouts for infield locations and host facilities.
• Performing systems design activities in close collaboration with the SPS, Subsea Structures, Risers and Flowline disciplines.
• Supporting and mentoring junior systems and SURF engineers.
• Contributing to project risk workshops and design reviews, identifying and following up risks, opportunities and associated actions.

Is this you?

You're an experienced and proactive subsea systems engineer who enjoys taking ownership, solving technical challenges and working closely with clients and colleagues to deliver high-quality engineering solutions. You have a strong interest in subsea facilities and SURF, together with a broad understanding of the industry.

Successful candidates often come from subsea project engineering roles with marine contractors, facilities engineering, or SURF lead positions, and are used to coordinating complex multidisciplinary technical deliveries.

You have a relevant engineering degree, solid experience within subsea systems, facilities and SURF engineering, and a good understanding of Norwegian standards and regulations. Experience in field architecture, systems engineering and SURF delivery will be highly valued. Previous experience on the Norwegian Continental Shelf is strongly preferred.

Experience using modern digital tools to support early-phase engineering is beneficial.

Why join Wood?

• Professional development: We actively encourage professional growth through mentoring, knowledge sharing and technical guidance. You will be connected to one of the world’s largest groups of technical experts. You'll also have opportunities for site visits, project placements and exposure to related disciplines, helping you broaden both your technical expertise and understanding of project delivery.
• A collaborative culture: We're proud of the environment we've built in Wood. People are approachable, willing to share knowledge and committed to helping one another succeed. We believe the best solutions come from collaboration and strong teamwork.
• What we offer: Alongside a competitive salary package and strong pension and insurance schemes, we offer flexible working hours with core hours from 09:00 to 15:00, modern office facilities, a well-subsidised canteen, fitness facilities and plenty of on-site parking.
