THEIA is a cloud-based integrity management solution, developed by Penspen. It has been designed to provide timely and critical information, initially for the safe and efficient running of pipelines.
Main purpose of role
This role will form part of a team responsible for developing engineering assessments which will predominantly be written using python programming language.
The role would be likely to suit a range on candidates including those with a mathematical bias, mechanical bias; or other similar backgrounds such as data science, physics, chemical, civil or other. Irrespective of background speciality, the successful candidate will have the ability to write code in Python language and will ideally have previous experience of working in industry.
The assessments will require implementation of a range of existing and new mechanical engineering assessments, in many cases this will require development of new methodologies for solving the engineering challenges faced by energy infrastructure as identified by Penspen’s global business.
The candidate will assist the team in developing python code to deliver novel mechanical engineering assessments as part of a cloud-based asset integrity suite for use by Globally distributed Engineers.
The candidate will be responsible for implementing established methods, validation/verification, undertaking research into new methods and publishing/implementing methods as applicable to Penspen’s business.
Applications will typically be related to the safety & performance improvement of energy transportation and storage assets including inspection and maintenance optimisation of pipelines.
