Key Responsibilities
Engineering and Technical Documentation
Develop the design basis and functional requirements for offshore and subsea fiber optic cable systems.
Prepare cable datasheets, technical specifications and Material Take-Offs (MTOs), including cables, joints, terminations and associated accessories.
Define fiber type and count, optical performance requirements, cable construction, armoring, water blocking and mechanical protection requirements.
Specify cable design requirements for the applicable water depth, environmental conditions, design life and installation method.
Establish mechanical limits, including allowable tension, minimum bend radius and crush resistance, in coordination with cable manufacturers and installation engineers.
Develop cable schedules and length estimates, accounting for route length, installation allowances, termination requirements and spare lengths.
Assess optical link budgets and interfaces with terminal equipment, coordinating with telecommunications specialists where required.
Define requirements for cable joints, termination assemblies, joint boxes, hang-offs and interfaces with offshore facilities and onshore infrastructure.
Technical Procurement and Vendor Evaluation
Prepare technical requisitions and procurement packages for fiber optic cables and associated equipment.
Review and comment on vendor technical proposals against project specifications and client requirements.
Prepare Technical Bid Evaluations (TBEs), identify deviations and exclusions, and recommend technically acceptable solutions.
Lead technical clarification meetings with vendors and support the close-out of outstanding technical matters before purchase order placement.
Assess proposed manufacturing, delivery, testing and handling arrangements for compatibility with the project schedule and installation strategy.
Vendor Documentation and Manufacturing Follow-Up
Review vendor documentation, including cable datasheets, construction drawings, calculations, manufacturing procedures, quality plans and Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs).
Review qualification and type-test evidence, material certificates, factory test procedures and test reports.
Attend vendor kick-off meetings, manufacturing progress reviews and agreed inspection and testing milestones.
Monitor technical compliance during fabrication and coordinate resolution of deviations, concessions and non-conformances.
Review cable delivery arrangements, drum or carousel requirements, storage conditions and handling instructions.
Review final vendor documentation and manufacturing record books for completeness and compliance.
Factory AcceptanceTesting
Review and agree Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) procedures, test scope and acceptance criteria.
Attend and witness FAT and other specified manufacturing tests.
Review optical test results, including Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) traces, attenuation and fiber continuity measurements.
Verify compliance with specified mechanical and physical testing requirements.
Prepare inspection reports and punch lists, and follow up on corrective actions and technical close-out.
Offshore Installation and Commissioning Support
Review cable handling, loading, transportation, laying, pull-in, jointing, termination and testing procedures.
Provide cable engineering input to installation analyses, including allowable tension, bend radius and equipment compatibility.
Coordinate with installation engineers on cable protection, crossings, burial, shore approaches and interfaces with subsea and topside facilities.
Provide technical support during offshore installation, including attendance offshore where required.
Review pre-installation, post-lay and post-termination test results and assess any changes in optical performance.
Support troubleshooting of cable damage, fiber faults and installation-related technical issues, including liaison with manufacturers on repairs.
Review installation records, as-built documentation and final testing reports to support commissioning and handover.
Technical Leadership and Project Delivery
Lead the fiber optic cable engineering scope and manage deliverables within agreed schedules and budgets.
Prepare, check and approve technical documents within delegated technical authority.
Ensure compliance with project requirements, applicable industry standards and quality procedures.
Manage technical interfaces with pipeline, subsea, structural, electrical, instrumentation, telecommunications and installation teams.
Participate in design reviews, risk assessments and constructability reviews.
Support proposals, engineering estimates and tender clarifications.
Mentor engineers and develop internal specifications, checklists and engineering practices.
Qualifications and Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electrical, Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.
Minimum 10 years of relevant experience in fiber optic cable systems, including at least 5 years in a lead or senior technical role.
Demonstrated experience with offshore or subsea fiber optic cable projects, covering engineering, procurement, manufacturing and installation support.
Proven ability to prepare cable datasheets, specifications, MTOs and Technical Bid Evaluations.
Sound knowledge of optical fiber characteristics, subsea cable construction, mechanical performance, joints, terminations and cable protection systems.
Experience reviewing vendor documentation and attending manufacturing inspections and FAT.
Practical understanding of OTDR testing, attenuation measurement, optical link budgets and interpretation of test results.
Familiarity with offshore cable handling, installation constraints, testing and repair methods.
Familiarity with applicable IEC and ITU-T standards and relevant offshore cable industry guidance.
Strong technical writing, vendor coordination and multidisciplinary communication skills.
Willingness to travel to manufacturing facilities and offshore worksites as required.
Experience with integrated power and fiber optic cables, umbilicals or distributed fiber optic sensing systems is an advantage.
