Offshore Subsea Project Engineer - Aberdeen
(Candidates MUST be based in the Aberdeen area to be considered)
We’re supporting our retained client, an expanding Subsea Engineering Specialist Solutions Provider, to appoint an experienced Offshore Project Engineer (Subsea) to join their high-growth engineering team.
This role is central to delivering complex subsea tooling projects, blending hands-on mechanical engineering, structured project management, and confident client-facing technical expertise.
The ideal candidate brings strong subsea design capability (ideally tooling) and thrives in a fast-paced environment where innovation, safety, and delivery excellence are essential.
The position includes approximately 2+ months offshore per year, so applicants must be fully comfortable with, and have experience of, regular offshore deployment.
Requirements:
- Project delivery: Lead new subsea tool builds and live engineering projects from concept through to offshore execution.
- Design engineering: Develop innovative mechanical solutions for subsea operations and tooling challenges.
- Technical execution: Support technical and administrative activities for the Head of Engineering.
- Cost & schedule control: Manage budgets, timelines, and resource planning to ensure on-time, on-spec delivery.
- Documentation: Produce engineering procedures, test packs, operational documentation, and bid support materials.
- Peer review: Review engineering deliverables and contribute to structured design reviews.
- Client support: Provide technical input during tendering, proposals, and client discussions.
- Design verification: Create new designs and perform FEA to validate tooling integrity and performance.
- Offshore leadership: Significant offshore time supporting operations, mobilisation, and troubleshooting.
- Equipment readiness: Prepare, modify, certify, and maintain subsea equipment.
- Diagnostics & repair: Test, diagnose, and repair subsea systems and tooling.
- HSE compliance: Report incidents, non-conformances, and uphold safety standards.
