NES Fircroft are currently supporting our valued client, who are looking for two Project Engineers to join their Perth based team on an initial 12-month contract.
Description:
The role will be based onshore during office and site-based preparation; as offshore construction campaigns are conducted, the role will require presence offshore on Offshore Installation Contractor (OIC) vessels.
The successful candidate will perform a variety of work both in the office and offshore. Initially, the role will be primarily office based with a requirement for travel to site locally and internationally on an as-required basis. As the project develops, the role will require a more extensive presence onboard a variety of offshore construction vessels to supervise the offshore installation contractor’s and subcontractors’ works. The offshore construction work is being conducted continuously between now and April 2027, and it is expected that this role will be attending offshore worksites regularly from November 2026 to the completion of the installation work.
