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.

Last year saw the least oil and gas reserves discovered in the deep-water US Gulf of Mexico in a decade, according to a study released by Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie said in contrast to the successes of 2006, deep-water exploration in the US Gulf of Mexico during 2007 was relatively disappointing.
The study defines deep water as anything deeper than 400 metres.
The report said reserves found in the deep US Gulf last year totaled 553 million barrels of oil equivalent, less than half the reserves found in an unusually strong 2006 and the least in 10 years.
According to a Reuters report on the study, the lower level of exploration activity during 2007 is in part due to higher levels of appraisal and development drilling activity coupled with the tight rig market.
Thirty-four exploration wells were drilled in the deep US Gulf in 2007, down from the annual average of 43, but in line with 2005 and 2006 performance, Wood MacKenzie said.
Forty-one percent of wells were successful, down from the average of 44%, the report said.
Of deepwater reserves found in 2007, 229 MMboe have been deemed commercial, or 41% of the total, down from the long-term average of 43%.
Average drilling time was 71 days, substantially below the 108-day average in 2006 but in line with the long-term average and 2007 wells were generally shallower than those targeted in 2006.
