TechnipFMC has reached a significant milestone in Namibia with the successful completion of its Subsea Engineering course at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). This initiative underscores our strategic commitment to developing local capabilities and fostering inclusive growth in the energy sector.

As the sole contractor delivering such a program in Namibia, TechnipFMC has taken a pioneering role in bridging academia and industry to cultivate the next generation of engineering talent. The program welcomed 25 students from diverse engineering disciplines - including Metallurgy, Electrical, Mining, Chemical, Civil, and Mechanical - with an outstanding 51% female participation, reinforcing our dedication to gender inclusion and workforce diversity.

Over five intensive modules, delivered both in person and virtually, TechnipFMC experts provided students with deep insights into key subsea domains: SURF, SPS, Services & Life of Field, Installation & Fleet, and Project Management. The curriculum was designed to translate academic theory into practical application, culminating in a hands-on challenge that simulated the delivery of a full subsea project.

Participant Simeon Ndeipanda shared: “This program was a game-changer for me. It gave us real exposure to subsea engineering and helped us understand how theory translates into practice. Working with TechnipFMC experts was inspiring. It made me feel confident about pursuing a career in the energy sector.”

TechnipFMC also recognized the strategic contributions of NUST and PETROFUND, whose partnership was instrumental in the program’s success.

This initiative reflects TechnipFMC’s broader vision to empower local talent, strengthen regional partnerships, and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable energy future.
