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.

China’s Yantai Raffles Shipyard has successfully loaded out the hull for the first of three semi-submersible drilling rigs being built for Norway’s Awilco Offshore at its Yantai shipyard in Shandong province, but the unit's delivery date remains uncertain.
Over recent months doubts have been cast on whether the delayed unit will be ready for delivery in October as per the revised schedule.
When contacted by Upstreamonline today, a Yantai Raffles spokeswoman said the yard is doing everything possible to meet Awilco's requirements and both parties are still in discussions over a delivery date.
The Wilpioneer rig, built to GM4000 design, is fully equipped for year round operation in harsh environments, with a dynamic positioning system, accommodation unit and ballasting system designed to support duties such as intervention and drilling in water depths up to 2500 feet.
The lower hull of the Wilpioneer was loaded out onto a floating barge by means of a combination of the Gripper Jack system with the shipyard’s existing Roller Skidding Method. The hull was subsequently floated off in the dredging area and tugged into dry dock on 29 September.
This combination can load structures of up to 40,000 tonnes, which is about three times the weight that other yards can load out using a Gripper Jack system of similar size, Yantai’s chief executive Cho Yong Jin said in a statement.
“Wilpioneer is the first semi-submersible being built in our shipyard and our adoption of the system has enabled us to execute the load-out with greater efficiency, lower cost and improved safety,” he added.
