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.

New technologies can boost production of environment-friendly biofuels without threatening the world's food supplies, industry members said at a conference today.
The biofuels industry has been demonised by higher food prices, biofuels industry executives said in interviews on the sidelines of the fifth annual World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioprocessing.
"You have to look at what all the factors are that go into rising food prices," said Steve Fabijanski, president and chief executive of Agrisoma Biosciences, a Canadian company that engineers oilseeds with oil content that is tailored for biodiesel manufacturers.
Commodity costs are only one component of higher prices at the grocery store. Other factors, such as soaring crude prices and fertiliser costs that cut into farmers' profits, also contribute.
Additionally, growing worldwide demand for meat could cause some food shortages if higher percentages of corn, wheat and soy are used to feed livestock.
Agrisoma's crops, which are specifically tailored for biodiesel refiners, also produce an oil byproduct that can be used as animal feed, Fabijanski said.
There has been growing criticism against government mandates on the use of corn to make ethanol because of the resultant rise in food prices, Reuters reported.
The US government has projected that nearly 25% of the US corn crop will be used for ethanol this year, up from 20% last year and roughly 14% two years ago.
Texas Governor Rick Perry last week asked the US government to cut "skyrocketing" food prices by waiving half of the renewable fuel standard for ethanol made from grain.
In the Midwest - the so-called Corn Belt of the US - Missouri is considering rolling back a mandate supporting ethanol production amid growing outrage over rising prices for food and livestock feed.
Developments in cellulose technology, which produces ethanol from non-food sources, are ready to be used in refining plants now, said Tjerk de Ruiter, chief executive officer of Genencor.
Genencor, a unit of Denmark's Danisco, is developing a system that uses enzymes to break down cellulosic materials in the production of biofuels. But Genencor's process, which can be used on leftovers of agricultural products such as corn, still needs to be tested on a large scale to see if it is profitable.
"It needs to be produced in plants (that can process) up to 1 million gallons, De Ruiter said. "That will truly tell us what the efficiencies are."
