Job description

Installing some of the world’s largest offshore structures requires more than innovative engineering. It takes clear direction, close cooperation and someone who can bring technical disciplines together to turn complex challenges into practical solutions.

Offshore wind is growing fast. Large-scale wind farms and next-generation offshore grid systems require increasingly complex transport and installation solutions.

Within Allseas, the Heavy Lift Engineering department plays a key role in this development. Using our unique heavy lift capabilities - including the world-leading vessel Pioneering Spirit - we install large offshore structures such as jackets, foundations and converter platforms for offshore wind projects, weighing up to 60.000 tons.

Which is where you come in!

We are looking for a Project Engineer to lead the engineering delivery of our heavy lift installation projects. This is an excellent next step for an experienced engineer who wants to take on broader project responsibility, or for someone who has already gained initial experience in a Project Engineer role.

• Monitor progress, identify potential bottlenecks and support timely decision-making
• Maintain close contact with clients, subcontractors, project management and internal engineering disciplines
• Review and approve engineering deliverables, confirming they are fit for purpose and aligned with project requirements
• Represent the team and encourage cooperation, transparency and continuous improvement
