The posting
Would you like to help shape cutting-edge, world-class subsea products from the very first concept?
Would creating innovative concept designs for some of the energy industry’s most challenging applications excite you?
Join our Well Systems Tender Engineering Team
We take energy forward, making it safer, cleaner and more efficient for people and the planet. We design, manufacture, install and service transformative technologies that help solve some of the world’s most complex energy challenges.
With a comprehensive portfolio spanning some of the most challenging subsea developments worldwide, Baker Hughes delivers integrated systems and products that enable innovative subsea solutions.
Partner with the best as a Senior Subsea Designer supporting on Subsea Production Systems front-end engineering and tenders .
As a Senior Subsea Designer within the Well Systems Tender and Front End Engineering team, focusing on Subsea Trees, Tubing Hangers and associated Tooling, you will play a key role in transforming customer requirements and early engineering concepts into clear, credible concept designs that underpin competitive tender submissions.
Working alongside tender engineers, product line specialists and other business functions, you will generate concept designs, develop complex 3D CAD models, assemblies and layouts that support front-end engineering design and tender activity. While your primary focus will be Well Systems equipment, you will also support the EPC Systems level and have the opportunity to support other Subsea Product Lines. Reporting to the Tender Engineering Leader for Well Systems, you will support opportunities across our entire global footprint.
You will have the opportunity to see your concepts shape real customer bids, helping us challenge conventional designs and present the next generation of Subsea Production Systems to customers worldwide.
Make progress at scale, Fuel your passion
As a Senior Subsea Designer, you will be responsible for:
- Generate concept designs, 3D CAD models and assemblies for Subsea Trees, Tubing Hangers and associated Tooling in support of front-end engineering design and tenders.
- Convert customer requirements and engineering concepts into practical, feasible and manufacturable design solutions that can be clearly communicated in tender submissions.
- Produce concept layouts, general arrangement drawings and supporting technical illustrations for tender documentation in line with engineering and company standards.
- Perform interference checks, envelope and fit assessments, and early-stage design evaluations to ensure concepts are robust and credible.
- Collaborate with tender engineers, product line specialists and project teams to develop and refine concepts from initial customer enquiry through to tender submission.
- Apply DFMA (Design for Manufacture & Assembly) principles at concept stage, working with manufacturing, supply chain and suppliers to inform feasibility and cost.
- Manage CAD data, concept models and product structures in PLM/Teamcenter, ensuring configuration control and design accuracy.
- Support Well Systems opportunities globally, as well as the EPC Systems level and other Subsea Product Lines, participating in design reviews and cross-functional tender teams.
Fuel your passion
To be successful in this role you will need to:
- Proven experience in mechanical CAD design within complex engineering industries such as Oil & Gas, Energy, Aerospace, Automotive, or Subsea systems, ideally including concept or front-end design work.
- Strong capability in creating 3D models and assemblies using CAD software, with the ability to generate and iterate concept designs quickly.
- Sound understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T and DFMA principles, sufficient to ensure concepts are feasible and manufacturable.
- Experience working with complex mechanical assemblies and component integration.
- Knowledge of manufacturing processes, including machining, fabrication, assembly, inspection, and cost considerations.
- Proficiency in CREO (Pro/ENGINEER) and preferably Teamcenter/PLM systems.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, manufacturing and tender stakeholders across global teams while managing multiple priorities and tender deadlines.
- Relevant engineering/design qualification (HNC/HND, Degree, Apprenticeship, or equivalent experience) with a proactive mindset, curiosity, and continuous learning attitude
Nice to have:
- Ability to create high-quality, well-rendered models for inclusion in presentations, technical tender submissions and marketing materials.
- Skills in creating animations (for example, to illustrate equipment function, assembly or operational sequences), which would be very advantageous.
