• Investigate technical issues and recurring failures and collaborate with reliability and operational teams to identify sustainable improvements.
• Contribute to the integration of offshore systems on new and existing vessels.
• Provide technical expertise to procurement teams and support the evaluation of suppliers and subcontractors.
• Perform technical assessments on board vessels and in shipyards when required.
• Collaborate closely with vessel crews, operational teams, equipment manufacturers and fellow engineers.
• Stay informed about developments and innovations in offshore equipment and maritime technologies.

Requirements:

• Master's degree in Electromechanical Engineering or another relevant technical discipline.
• 5 years of experience in a complex technical engineering environment.
• Experience with offshore equipment, heavy lifting systems, subsea equipment, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, or other specialized offshore technologies is an asset.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Interest in maintenance, mobilizations, asset reliability and system integration.
• Affinity with complex technical installations operating in a maritime or offshore environment.
• A hands-on and pragmatic team player who enjoys working across multiple disciplines.
• Comfortable working in an international environment with diverse stakeholders.
• Willing to travel occasionally to vessels, shipyards, suppliers or project sites. The position is predominantly HQ-based in Belgium.
