Mooring Intern

What will you be doing?

Working under the supervision of a Project Engineer within the Global Mooring team, the intern will support the development of a standardized vessel capability assessment tool. The primary objective will be to create an Excel-based application (with potential Visual Basic automation) that evaluates and compares installation vessel deck layouts and operational capabilities for a range of mooring project scopes using data from recent and ongoing projects.

The project will involve assessing vessel suitability for activities including:

• Pile installation (vertical and horizontal deployment)
• Mooring line pre-lay operations
• Mooring line hook-up to host facilities
• Mooring line tensioning using Chain Jacks, BarLatch systems, or In-Line Tensioners (ILT)
• Host towing and station-keeping operations

          The intern will collaborate with engineers to gather, organize, and analyze vessel and project data, develop practical engineering tools, and gain exposure to offshore installation methodologies and project execution strategies. At the conclusion of the internship, the intern will present the completed tool, findings, and recommendations to relevant stakeholders.

What experience would we like you to have?
