Global engineering and construction for offshore energy and infrastructure projects
Saipem operates a massive capital-equipment and services business spanning drilling, fabrication, and offshore installation across 50+ countries. The tech stack reveals a dual nature: deep CAD/simulation tools (AutoCAD, STAR-CCM+, Abaqus, Fluent) for engineering-heavy project delivery, paired with rapid adoption of Microsoft cloud infrastructure (Power Automate, Power Apps, Purview, Teams) and GitHub Copilot—signaling a push to digitalize field operations and internal processes. Engineering roles dominate hiring (208 of 309 active), but the pain-point list (cost/schedule constraints, QA compliance, safety, subcontractor management) and active projects (bid estimation, project execution, CMMS implementation) suggest operational bottlenecks are driving the digital transformation.
