Join us in solving global energy challenges for future generations.

At Aker Solutions we are committed to helping the energy industry and broader society #PowerTheChange towards a low-carbon future. We are changemakers and problem solvers with more than 180 years of experience. Our ambitions are high. By 2030, renewables and low-carbon solutions for oil and gas will make up two-thirds of our business. Do you want to be a part of driving the transition?

We are specialists in managing large projects from feasibility studies and conceptual engineering, through FEED and detailed engineering.

Engineering is executing major projects across the globe in both oil and gas and renewables sectors. This includes Norway’s ground-breaking Brevik carbon capture project, as well as Northern Lights, the world’s first CO₂ storage facility on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. 

Furthermore, we are developing the design and delivery methods for offshore floating wind and future hydrogen and ammonia projects.

 As part of a strategic alliance, we are also working on a large digitalization project, whilst pioneering new digital solutions to make operations safer and more efficient.

Our Structure group within the Structure, Architecture and Maintenance department in Fornebu is now looking for a Specialist Structural Engineer. 

Over the years, Aker Solutions has developed procedures, work instructions, and guidelines for optimizing and standardizing the structural design and fabrication processes in our projects. Sets of structural Standard Details are also part of this development.

The Standard Details range from welding and joint details for the different structure classes to specific components as monorail beams, stairs ladders, etc. The aforementioned documents and Standard Details are part of Aker Solutions' governing documents.

The scope of work involves taking a main role in the maintenance and further development of the Standard Details and other structural governing documents. Part of the expected tasks for the position includes mentoring and tuition in the use of the Standard Details, in addition to collaborating in their implementation on the different projects. To succeed, sound experience in structural offshore design and design codes as well as knowledge and understanding of structural fabrication processes will be needed.

What will you be doing?

• Oversee the Standard Detail team, ensuring effective management, continuous development, and implementation of structural detailing processes, while coordinating with ongoing projects.
• Maintain and enhance the Standard Detail SPS site, ensuring that all work methods and instructions are up-to-date, and that team members adhere to the established guidelines in Standard Detail Work Instructions.
• Provide expert technical support to the team and project members, offering guidance on structural engineering practices and challenges.
• Conduct training sessions and courses for structural engineers and other relevant teams across the organization, including on-site personnel when required.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and key stakeholders, such as clients and engineers at fabrication yards, to incorporate their specifications into the structural Standard Details.
• Review, approve, and validate structural designs, analyses, and related deliverables. Ensure their accurate translation into Work Instructions within the management system.
• Ensure compliance with industry codes and standards, while adapting project-specific requirements into detailed solutions.

We think you should have: 

• Approximately 10 years of relevant experience in structural engineering, preferably within EPC or oil & gas sectors.
• BSc or MSc degree in Structural Engineering or a closely related field.
• Deep understanding of structural engineering principles, practices, and project workflows.
• Proven ability to manage and coordinate structural engineering activities, as well as leadership and team management skills with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• A strong interest in and ability to engage with all phases of Standard Detail development, including procedures, working methods, and detailed aspects such as geometry, welding, inspection standards, and drawing documentation.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration.
• Experience working at fabrication yards is a plus.

Technical Proficiency

• Proficient in MS Office.
• Knowledge of relevant structural analysis and design software, such as Sesam Genie, STAAD, Abaqus, or similar tools.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD/BricsCAD and Navisworks is advantageous.

More reasons to work with us:

• Professional development and excellent career opportunities with the chance to work on a wide variety of projects ranging from oil and gas, renewables (carbon capture, hydrogen, and offshore wind) to aqua culture
• Competitive pay and benefits with excellent pension and insurance schemes as well as private health services provided by Aker Care
