We have an exciting opportunity working within both new and existing projects, creating bespoke, safe and cost-effective engineering solutions for our clients within the energy sector.

If you are passionate about Engineering, have some energy industry experience, or have transferable skills, then we would love to hear from you.

Due to a recent contract win covering the structural integrity management of all assets for a major client we require a Principal Structural engineer with significant experience in the analysis of offshore structures. Knowledge of DNV Sesam and USFOS software is essential.

• Identify the scope of work required
• Input to project plans
• Identify areas of concern during any project or study

Our ideal candidate will enjoy team working, will be customer and quality focused, can use their own initiative and will be responsive to our business and client needs. We’d like you to have a degree in a relevant subject and significant previous experience in detail design with an understanding of other disciplines.

You need to have experience and an interest in working with AutoDesk products and have exposure to people management and development. There will be the opportunity to work in other locations, both on and offshore so candidates may need you to travel and hold the relevant certification to do so.
