The marine engineer shall support the cable design team by analyzing the performance of different cable designs in a marine environment. The marine engineer shall understand the impact of different cable design parameters on the installability of submarine cables as well as long-term mechanical effect like fatigue performance. Besides cable design tasks, the marine engineer shall be the responsible interface to potential CPS supplier, no matter whether hired by the client or WECS. The marine engineer shall also be able to evaluate installation analysis done by cable installation contractors.
Above responsibilities include the following details. • Perform mechanical analysis of cables designs, e.g., bending stiffness, fatigue resistance, on-bottom stability, etc. • Feedback findings from the analysis to the cable design team. • Perform pull in analysis. • Support the development department with determination of mechanical test parameters. • Perform burial risk assessments and burial tool selection. • Read and understand weather data provided by clients. • Support the design process of CPS
