Your role in the story As a Senior Structural Engineer, you are at the heart of what we do offshore. You turn complex challenges into smart, workable solutions and play a key role in projects that push technical boundaries, from early concept and tendering to detailed engineering and offshore execution. You'll work within, Wind, Decommissioning or Transport & Installation, where you collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to some of the most impressive offshore operations worldwide. Whether it's designing fit‑for‑purpose lifting arrangements, safeguarding structural integrity, or supporting execution offshore, your expertise makes a direct and visible impact. Beyond delivering high‑quality engineering, you help shape the way we work. You share knowledge, challenge existing approaches, support the development of less experienced engineers and actively contribute to a learning and continuously improving organization. At , we believe great engineers never stop developing. You'll be given the freedom and trust to take initiative, broaden your technical scope, strengthen your leadership skills and, if you choose, gain hands‑on offshore experience on our world‑class vessels. This is a role for engineers who want responsibility, influence and the space to grow, while making the impossible possible.
