We are looking for an experienced Senior or Principal Marine Systems Engineer to join our client’s engineering team in Rotterdam.
This is not a naval design or naval architecture vacancy. We are specifically looking for engineers with strong marine systems engineering experience, ideally gained within an EPC environment and the Oil & Gas / Energy industry.
The role will be involved in the development, engineering and delivery of marine systems, working across different project disciplines and managing interfaces with clients, vendors, subcontractors and other stakeholders.
Working 3 days a week in the office and two at home, 40 hour week , Monday to Friday.
Key Responsibilities
We would be particularly interested in candidates with experience around:
Marine Systems | Shipboard Systems | P&ID | PFD | Hydrodynamic Calculations | Marine Engineering Studies | Energy Transportation | Shipboard Maintenance & Operations | EPC | Oil & Gas | FPSO / Offshore | Package Engineering | Engineering Design
Location & Visa -Visa support is available. However, candidates already based in the EU are preferred, as the project requires someone who can mobilise quickly.
If you have strong Marine Systems Engineering experience within an EPC/Oil & Gas environment and are available to start within 1 month, we would be interested in hearing from you.
