We have an exciting opportunity for an energetic Hydraulic Engineer motivated by the goal to increase efficiency and drive sustainability across the Allseas fleet to join our Innovations Division in Delft, the Netherlands.

Your role

As Hydraulic Engineer you are part of the go-to team for all matters related to our vessels’ hydraulic systems. You are central to all engineering phases from conceptual design through detailed design for new or existing hydraulic systems, including installation supervision, testing and commissioning. Throughout this process you cooperate with engineers from various disciplines and colleagues from other departments like Heavy Lift Engineering, Operations and Technical Department.

As Hydraulic Engineer you are responsible for:

• Design and engineering: provision of solutions to facilitate the project with safe, reliable and innovative designs, technical specifications and procedures.
• Support and stakeholder management: working in a multi-disciplinary team environment, aligning your work with the team lead and the various stakeholders, contributing to departmental development, and providing offshore support during project execution on vessel or yard.
• Documentation for approval: preparation of documentation for projects covering the technical solutions, models and drawings, calculations, method statements and operational procedures, ensuring they meet safety, performance and regulatory standards for class and/or client approval.
• Applying in-depth understanding of concepts and principles within your discipline and a basic knowledge of these elements in other disciplines.
• Using strong analytical skills to weigh aspects thoroughly in complicated or novel situations and drawing conclusions based on criteria, facts and previous experiences.
• Interfacing with various disciplines including project team, vessel crew, clients, subcontractors, certification authorities and marine warranty surveyor to define efficient and cost-effective solutions and provide ongoing engineering support.
• Keeping your knowledge up to date through courses, seminars and other training.
