Cable Route Engineer | London, UK | £53,000 – £58,000 per annum
Role Purpose
The Cable Route Engineer oversees the planning, mobilisation, and operational activities of subcontracted hydrographic survey operations, which utilise full ocean depth-capable vessels for most of the cable route, as well as smaller vessels for inshore and topographic activities at cable landing locations.
The engineer liaises with offshore teams to ensure operational quality and receives survey data deliverables for creating post-survey Route Position Lists (RPLs)—a critical output for the company’s manufacturing teams in making pre-manufacturing decisions, including cable routing, manufacturing design, and installation strategy.
