• Support integration of topside and subsea software with PLC-based control systems, SCADA/HMI platforms, subsea sensors, actuators, and power distribution components.
• Coordinate software behaviour with hydraulic, electrical, and electro-hydraulic control philosophies.
• Review and validate contractor documentation, technical queries, and derogation requests, identifying deviations and unjustified design choices.
• Ensure alignment on ICSS interfacing details with associated project interfaces.
• Promote safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective operation of the control system through the full project lifecycle.
• Participate in engineering reviews including HAZID and HAZOP and contribute to quality and project reviews.
