Senior Production Engineer Cables and Pipelines

THE POSITION
As a Senior Production Engineer Cables and Pipelines, you will be responsible for analysing and setting up production calculations and working methods for new projects. These projects are technologically complex and related to cable laying, cable burial and pipeline installation projects. You specialise in a wide variety of projects that challenge your analytical skills and creativity.

You will do this in close collaboration with various other disciplines within the company. The diversity ranges from cable and pipe installation in relatively easy geotechnical conditions to highly geologically complex sites, which require customised burial solutions. These projects are usually based on in-house equipment, but might also include other (large) types of equipment available within the fleet whenever necessary. The Offshore Energy division is inherently committed to innovative solutions, leading to Van Oord's competitive advantage.

YOUR IMPACT
As a Senior Production Engineer Cables and Pipelines, you may occasionally visit projects in progress to advise the project team and ship's crew on possible optimisations. During these visits, you will actively monitor the production and installation process and working methods. This is to improve knowledge sharing within the company and to record (practical) knowledge in the company's production databases as a basis for future tenders.

• Interpreting and analysing large amounts of project and geotechnical data.
• Supporting tender and project teams in both tendering and implementation.
• Designing efficient and competitive production processes, including equipment and logistics choices.
• Use and further development of internal software for production estimates.
• Preparing and presenting deliverables to internal and external stakeholders.
• Visiting projects and offshore equipment to monitor processes in real time and advise on optimisations.
• Recording and sharing practical knowledge to improve future tenders and project implementation.

Your workplace

The location for the Senior Production Engineer Cables and Pipelines is in Gorinchem. You will be part of the Offshore Energy Production Team within the Engineering and Estimating department.

• a minimum Bachelor degree, preferably Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering;

• strong interest in mechanical systems;
