Why Subsea 7?
We are Subsea 7, a global leader in the delivery of offshore projects and services for the evolving energy industry.
The same old thinking won’t meet our future energy needs. We’ll give you the freedom to challenge, think differently and innovate in everything you do.
Whether that’s exploring emerging technologies, developing smarter processes, or fostering new partnerships, if you’re ready to take on the challenge, you’ll be supported by like-minded experts in our field.
We want you to feel empowered to bring your real self to work, in a culture that celebrates and values diversity. Onshore or offshore, you’ll be in an environment where your wellbeing is supported, surrounded by people who respect your goals – so you can be the very best you can be.
We are proactively participating in renewables and emerging energy offshore today - delivering lower-carbon oil & gas now and advancing solutions for the future. The energy transition is going to be an incredible journey, and we’re looking for talent with the drive and passion to make it possible.
Why you?
Since 2005 we have successfully run our Engineering Conversion Programme providing experienced Engineers from other industries with the opportunity to take existing skills and experience and develop them into a new career within the Subsea Energy Industry.
Through the programme many Engineers have established career opportunities with Subsea 7 including some who have become leaders within the organisation.
We are seeking candidates from a wide range of industries and backgrounds with demonstrable role relevant engineering experience, motivated to evolve their career into subsea engineering. Example industries include, but are not limited to: Civil Engineering, Armed Forces and Energy/Oil & Gas.
How do we do it?
The Conversion Programme is a tailored scheme that provides an introduction to subsea engineering generally, and Subsea 7 activities specifically. In addition, there will be visits to vessels and construction sites, plus attendance at the mandatory offshore survival training course.
There will then be assignment to a live project, with ongoing training, development and mentoring.
Joining as part of the programme, along with a number of other Engineers, the successful candidates will be fully supported every step of the way through structured development and mentoring as well as informally by colleagues within the business.
What is the role?
The Conversion Programme is aimed at recruiting Project Installation Engineers; Engineers who are responsible for the execution and delivery of a variety of projects within the business ranging from Inspection Repair and Maintenance to major EPIC (Engineering, Procurement, Installation & Commissioning) developments.
The role will be based at our Westhill office in Aberdeen, with the requirement to travel offshore to any of our UK and Global operations. As such, it is essential candidates attend and pass their offshore medical and survival course as part of this scheme.
Other periodic onshore travel will be required to visit client offices, fabrications sites etc.
