The Organisation

We are committed to maximising the exploration and production potential in Europe E&P. We have integrated our BG Norge and UK Upstream assets to better support a future of growth and investment in the area. This will deliver a more sustainable future and robust business proposition for Europe E&P, as well as enhanced development opportunities for individuals across the combined teams. With a joint portfolio producing over 100 kboe/ day, our goal is to continue building a truly excellent Exploration and Production business in Europe E&P.

Position Summary

The BG operated Jackdaw discovery in the Central North Sea is the company’s largest undeveloped resource in the UK. It is classified as an ultra HP/HT reservoir with shut in bottom hole pressure of 1175bar and reservoir temperature of 200 deg C. Jackdaw will be the first operated uHP/HT development project that BG has undertaken and will have a significant impact on its future business plans.
As a member of the Jackdaw Project Management Team, the Engineer will provide electrical equipment engineering input into the Jackdaw FEED and later stages of this ultra High Pressure High Temperature (uHPHT) CNS development project.

Key Accountabilities

Every individual has a duty to both themselves and those around them to ensure that safe practice is adhered to at all times. In addition to any specific accountabilities for HSSE, all employees are accountable for ensuring that they take care of themselves and adopt exemplary safe behaviours.
The Engineer is accountable for the development and execution of the pre-sanction electrical equipment engineering scope using appropriate resources. The Engineer will support the Jackdaw Engineering Manager in assuring that the development meets BG PMS (Project Management System) and TAS (Technical Assurance System) compliance specifically including the Project’s adopted Electrical Engineering Standards.
The Engineer will be the owner of the electrical equipment engineering elements of the Jackdaw Development Basis of Design. If necessary in conjunction with the Global Technical Authority in BG Advance (the BG standards’ custodian), deviation requests to relevant standards shall be managed. The Engineer will make recommendations on change proposals; sign-off consultancy reports and be the principal Electrical Discipline Engineer on the Jackdaw Project.
