• Contribute to the design, review, and implementation of engineering solutions for subsea construction, diving and ROV activities.
• Actively promote a strong safety culture, participate in toolbox talks, and ensure compliance with health, safety and environmental standards.
• Build strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and internal teams to keep projects aligned and on track.
• Provide engineering support during offshore campaigns, including short trips offshore as required.
• Assist with progress tracking, cost monitoring and the production of clear, accurate project reports for management and clients.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and efficiency, sharing ideas that enhance project performance.

Benefits & Career Development

• A clear progression plan from day one, tailored to your goals – whether that’s stepping into team leadership, moving towards project management, or deepening your technical expertise.
• The chance to work on high‑profile offshore wind projects, alongside occasional exposure to traditional oil and gas.
• The opportunity to shape your career in a business that is evolving, where your adaptability and ideas will make a visible impact.
