What will you be doing?

This position sits within our Pipeline Group (PG) Reeling Analysis team. PG supports Subsea7’s pipelay projects globally and our installation engineers play an integral part in finding solutions to complex engineering problems. Our engineers are recognised for their expertise and can oversee specific critical subjects either on business improvement, or projects.

Reeling of subsea pipelines is simulated using finite element software to ensure that the strain level is within the allowable limit to satisfy integrity checks when the pipeline is spooled on to the vessel reel and laid offshore. In this role you will review the existing reeling analysis methodology to become familiar with the work before commencing on the main objective of this internship. You will support the development of an approach to analyse reelability of the pipeline using different material models for the carbon steel.

Other Duties And Responsibilities Typically Include

• Under supervision, assist with production of technical documentation which may include, design calculations, analysis, reports, specifications, procedures, progress reports, bid evaluations, study reports and various 3rd-party submissions
• Consolidate knowledge in areas of discipline engineering, including design codes and standards, legislative requirements and current best engineering practice
• Awareness of clients' needs; address design parameters and problems; develop and implement solutions
• Participate in meetings/correspondence with Clients, subcontractors and 3rd parties in a junior capacity

What experience would we like you to have?

Our reeling analysis graduates typically have one of the following degrees and are able to demonstrate a good level of knowledge and experience of simulation software and finite element analysis (Mechanical, CFD, heat transfer etc) using software such as Abaqus.

• Mechanical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Subsea Engineering
• Structural Engineering
• Offshore Engineering

They are also expected to exhibit some of the following qualities and skills:

• Professional and mature attitude
• Technical ability
• Flexible and proactive approach to changes and challenges
• Initiative and personal responsibility
• Ability to communicate with impact
• Innovative and intelligent approach

• Support from both our local and corporate offices throughout your time on the scheme.
• Opportunities to develop your technical and non-technical skills by attendance at courses, through field trips, and in your day-to-day job.
• The chance to network with experts and the global graduate engineering community.

Our selection process is designed to be fair and inclusive. First, we’ll review applications against the essential job criteria. If you meet these, you’ll be invited to complete a short MS Form with screening questions. Top scorers will then have their CVs reviewed, and successful candidates will be invited to an interview over Teams, where they will be asked to do a short presentation as part of the discussion.

The Graduate scheme is just the beginning - your professional and personal development journey continues throughout your career at Subsea7. The positions are based in Sutton, London and start in September 2026.
