Project Engineer
Our Client is a fast growing provider of innovative R&D and engineering solutions in the energy industry. Their business is focused on providing faster, more efficient and more environmentally friendly engineering solutions to the market.
This role will be based in Aberdeen but our Client operate globally, so regular travel will be required within the UK, offshore and abroad.
Role Overview
Our Client is looking to recruit an Engineer to join their team on a full time, permanent basis with an initial focus on the building, maintenance and deployment of their subsea cutting saws.
The role will be based in Aberdeen and will vary significantly week to week, however the core focus for the successful candidate will be the management of the engineering needs of the current saw fleet and of the subcontractors involved in the design and build to DNV/international standards of new builds, including the management of modifications to designs and associated FAT. The role will also focus on the engineering specifications and needs of integrated parts of our offering such as HPUs, reelers, hot stabs, transport skids and new designs as required by ongoing client demands.
The successful candidate will also be expected to be able to support with physical saw build and maintenance as well as occasional offshore operational work and client demos when demand requires although these workscopes will be primarily performed by the engineering technicians (who will provide operational input into designs/builds).
You must be someone who has demonstrated their interface skills with ability to work with sub-contractors and internal and client needs.
