  • Supporting on schedule delivery by effective management of your project deliverables.
  • Managing supplier progress, holding regular meetings and in-person support.
  • Preparing technical documentation & design calculations for peer review, and checking third party documentation.
  • Preparing for and carrying out testing, commissioning and mobilisation activities.
  • Liaising with other business functions, including finance and HSSEQ, for support and guidance.
  • Supporting your teammates by sharing your knowledge and insights in working groups and presentations, where applicable.


About you

• Open minded with a keen to learn attitude.

• First rate communicator.

• Self-motivated and persistent in getting from A to B.

• Diligent in attention to detail.

• Adaptable when unexpected challenges crop up.

Your experience

We welcome a range of qualification levels, from graduates onwards. In this role, as a basis you'll need:
  • A degree-level qualification, or equivalent, in a technical field, such as Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Offshore Engineering, Marine Engineering, or Naval Architecture. 
  • The ability to work with Autodesk Inventor software.
  • Proficiency in hand calculations, through to Staad and FEA.


Further information

  • Working abroad may be required at times to visit customers, suppliers, and support assembly programmes.
