Principal Offshore Structural Engineer

To provide Offshore Civil/Structural Engineering expertise and support the HA & HB-Buko projects.

The HA & HB-Buko projects aim to provide circa 350-450 MMscf/d of gas to the NLNG Train-7 from 2029+, as well as 25-30 kb/d of oil and condensate for export. The projects’ projected gas supply constitutes circa 25% of the overall supply to the NLNG Train-7. The HA project completed FEED in Apr-25 and is now completing the tendering phase of the project contracts. While the HB-Buko project has initiated FEED in Q2-26. Current plan is for a joint HA/HB-Buko FID by end of Q1-27. Given the strategic importance of both projects to the NLNG Train 7, and to derisk the project execution schedule to protect the First Gas Date, a full integration and optimization of HA & HB-Buko has been endorsed by the JV partners to improve the business case and to accelerate further optimizations of the projects.
