Mechanical Engineer to IK Subsea

Do you want to work with complex subsea equipment and technical problem-solving while being involved throughout the entire project lifecycle? At IK Subsea, you can follow your engineering decisions from the drawing board through to the final solution.

About the role

IK Subsea AS is a team of more than 40 employees delivering tailored engineering solutions, repair, and maintenance for offshore subsea and pipeline systems. The company has a proven track record delivering effective solutions and technologies in challenging subsea environments, with over 500 completed projects, for both major and smaller oil operators worldwide.

Projects at IK Subsea typically range from 10-25 weeks, with some projects running for several months. You may work on one or several projects at the same time, depending on the workload and project requirements. You will be involved in both pre-studies and delivery projects, giving you the opportunity to follow projects through different stages of the project lifecycle. Projects vary in scope and can involve a range of mechanical equipment and specially fabricated tools used for offshore operations, such as clamps, plugs, lifting tools and other project-specific solutions. As IK Subsea is a project-based organization, you will work as part of a multidisciplinary project team consisting of engineers and other functions. Depending on the project, the team may include Project Managers, Lead Engineers, Technical Authorities, Project Engineers, Document Controllers, Procurement Officers, Financial Controllers and Lead Mechanical Engineers.

As a Mechanical Engineer, your role is to develop initial concepts and perform calculations based on the project’s design specifications. You may also be involved in the assembly and testing of the equipment together with the Lead Mechanic at the workshop. Once all design specifications have been met and the product is finished, you will finalize the necessary technical documentation and ensure that the equipment is ready for shipment to the offshore site. You will be part of an engineering team of 16 engineers across our Stavanger and Poland offices. The team brings together engineers with different levels of experience, creating a collaborative environment where knowledge and experience is exchanged.
