You will take on a Project Management lead role and be responsible for managing and delivery within budget. You are to deliver Prospect projects, using your own technical expertise and experience in Engineering Design and Computational Analysis as well as group-wide technical support.
Design and specification of hydraulic systems for marine and offshore cranes.
Calculations in accordance with the regulations of the classification companies.
Follow-up of workshops and subcontractors at home and abroad.
Participation in design and product development for our projects.
You will report to the Principal Engineer, you will support the execution of Prospect projects, using your own technical expertise and experience in Engineering Design, Computational Analysis as well as group-wide technical support.
In this key role, you’ll have an important part to play in the wide range of new Oil and Gas developments we’re rolling out across the globe. And when you realise the scale and scope of what will often be $multi-billion projects, you’ll understand what an exciting opportunity that presents. Providing technical process engineering support, the challenges you’ll face will be as diverse as the projects you’re involved in. As well as working closely with Development Managers and Subsurface professionals to make the most of our existing sites and develop new proposals, you’ll oversee the work of contractors from conceptual studies all the way through to the detailed design stage. You’ll also contribute significantly to the development of less experienced colleagues.

Green-lipped mussels that made their home on the hull of Diamond Offshore’s Ocean Patriot semi-submersible drilling rig on the Taranaki basin off New Zealand have proved costly, the US company said.
Describing the infestation as a "new issue" for the company, Diamond told analysts on a conference call yesterday it had to hire divers and blasters to remove the mussels, resulting in $5 million in cost overruns for the quarter.
The mussels were discovered after the Ocean Patriot wrapped up drilling of OMV’s Moana-1 well last year and was preparing to move to spud for Anzon off Australia, the company said.
The rig, which was out of commission for 23 days, could not be moved to Australia with the mussels because they are considered a nuisance in that country, Reuters reported Les Van Dyke, director of investor relations, said.
Van Dyke said the Ocean Patriot would earn $350,000 a day under its new contract in Australia, making the maintenance delay costly.
The Houston-based company reported a 26% year-on-year decline in fourth-quarter net earnings to $164.9 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, as the drop in rig utilisation weighed on results.
Revenues for the period rose to $666.7 million from $578.2 million in the same period in 2006.
For the full year Diamond reported net earnings of $846.5 million, or $6.12 per diluted share, up from $706.8 million, or $5.12 per diluted share, in 2006.
Full year revenue rose to $2.57 billion from $2.05 billion previously.
