The work you will help shape

• Prepare and update drawings and models for offshore structures, subsea systems and marine operations.
• Develop general arrangements, fabrication details, assembly information, layouts and installation sequences.
• Work with engineers to translate calculations, sketches and design requirements into coordinated deliverables.
• Check dimensions, interfaces, annotations and consistency between the model and the drawing set.
• Manage revisions and incorporate technical comments so that changes remain clear and traceable.
• Use models to help colleagues and clients understand geometry, access and installation interfaces.
• Contribute to drawing templates, libraries and practical improvements in the way the team works.

What you bring

• Training or practical experience in technical drafting, mechanical design, structural detailing or a related field.
• Confident drafting skills and familiarity with a suitable CAD workflow, including tools such as AutoCAD, Rhino, Inventor or SolidWorks.
• An understanding of dimensions, tolerances, drawing conventions and the detail needed to communicate a design clearly.
• Care with files and revisions, and the confidence to raise an unclear detail before it reaches fabrication or site.
