Designing systems for extreme offshore environments

Role Overview

As a Structural Engineer, you will work on the development and dimensioning of structures for our hose transfer systems and other offshore equipment. Our systems improves safety and simplify the connection of hoses between vessels, platforms, and subsea installations. You will follow solutions from idea and design through fabrication, testing, and offshore operation. You will be a part of the Well Cleanup engineering team to improve existing systems and develop new generations of HTS systems, contributing to technical discussions and ensuring clear technical interfaces with suppliers and customers.

Responsibilities 

• Ensure the structural integrity of our hose transfer systems

• Structural design of offshore units and support frames

• Strength and structural analysis of pressure-exposed and dynamically loaded equipment

• Sea fastening design for equipment installed on vessels

• Design and dimensioning of lifting arrangements

• Analysis of dynamic operational loads

• Collaboration with classification societies and third-party verification bodies

• Workshop follow-up during fabrication

• Participation in testing and FAT

• Technical support during offshore commissioning

• Contribute to further development of existing systems

Qualifications 

Required 

• Engineering degree in structural engineering or equivalent

• Knowledge of relevant standards (NORSOK, DNV, API, ASME, Eurocode)

• Experience from offshore, subsea or maritime industry

• Good understanding of lifting operations and dynamic loads

Preferred 

• Experience with FEA tools (STAAD, Inventor Nastran or similar)

• Experience with hand calculation (MathCad or similar)

• Experience working with classification societies (DNV or equivalent)

• Knowledge of lifting equipment design and applicable lifting standards

What We Offer 

• Permanent position in a growing Norwegian technology company 

• Real influence on product and engineering solutions 

• Projects with major operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf 

• Opportunity to follow systems from concept to offshore operation 

• Competent and interdisciplinary working environment 

• Close interaction between office and workshop 

• Flexible work arrangements to support work-life balance 

Simpler - Safer - Smarter

Well Cleanup is a profitable and growing, locally owned technology company based in Rogaland, Norway. We develop and deliver patented equipment for automatic and safer hose connection – between vessels, vessel to subsea, and vessel to fixed offshore installations. By financing and owning the equipment we develop, we offer a fully integrated solution that enables safe, efficient hose connections — eliminating the need for cranes.

You will be part of a team that operates our equipment daily on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Our patented systems, which you will help manage, are primarily used for well stimulation hose connections involving high pressure and high flow rates – designed for demanding offshore operations where safety, precision, and operational efficiency are critical. 

We also support decommissioning projects, ensuring safe and controlled fluid transfer when offshore installations are emptied as part of field shutdown processes. This work plays a crucial role in minimizing environmental impact and supporting sustainable practices in the industry. 

What We Have Built 

• Long-term contracts with major operators on the NCS 

• Proven offshore track record 

• Patented solutions in daily offshore operation 

• Solid financial performance and profitability 

• In-house engineering and workshop facilities in Forus, Stavanger 

We are a small, highly specialised team with short decision-making lines. There is close integration between engineering, workshop and operations – and you will see your solutions being built and put into operation.
