The Role:
The Offshore Engineering Team supports Offshore energy projects from initial conception through development, procurement, construction and into Operations and Maintenance.  Delivering successful projects from initiation to realisation requires a multidisciplinary development team in which engineering plays a significant role. 
 Due to increasing workload we are looking to expand the engineering capabilities of the offshore department by recruiting a CAD Technician.  You will be a member of the Offshore Engineering Department and will work with other teams as required to support the design work needed at different phases of a project.
 Main Duties using AutoCAD:
 Produce Concept Design drawings to support site selection

• Front End Engineering Design drawings to support project definition and procurement
• Develop 2D Engineering Design drawings from Engineers calculations
• Production of multi disciplined Engineering drawings
• Checking of 2D drawing output
• Ensure all work complies with company procedures and standards

The subjects of these design drawings may include:

• Structural steelwork
• Secondary steelwork
• Subsea and Land Cable Routes
• Construction and Marine Operations
• Personnel access systems

 The role may require some travel within the UK and Europe.
It is an office-based role but with possible occasional visits to offshore installations and / or working at heights.

The Person
This role would suit a CAD technician with experience in structural, electrical, process or marine engineering although applicants from other engineering disciplines will also be considered. Previous experience of the offshore sector, electrical generation and/or knowledge of the wind industry would be strongly advantageous.
 The successful candidate will be required to demonstrate that they have the following capabilities:

• Proficient in AutoCAD for 2D design
• Control of Design information and the Design process
• Solve problems and perform duties with minimal supervision
• Operate independently within a team framework
• Willing to travel occasionally to client sites UK or overseas

 The following attributes are desirable:

• Technical / Engineering ONC / Technical apprenticeship or equivalent in an Engineering environment
• Experience working within a deadline driven environment
• Knowledge and experience of AutoCAD for 3D design

• Knowledge and experience of design and fabrication of large steel structures
• Knowledge and experience of design and methods for heavy-lift operations
• Knowledge and experience of marine operations
• Knowledge and experience of design and/or construction in the coastal or offshore sector;
• Knowledge and Experience of design and/or construction in the electricity generation & distribution sector
• A current UK/EU driving licence.
