Senior Pre-Commissioning Engineer

At DeepOcean, we’re looking for a skilled and motivated Project Engineer within pre-commissioning to join our team of specialists working on complex subsea projects. We’re especially interested in professionals who combine technical depth with a proactive mindset and a passion for continuous improvement. Here, you’ll be trusted with responsibility, supported by a strong team, and encouraged to grow both personally and professionally.

We operate below the surface – literally. From Subsea Construction to IMR, Survey, Cable Installation and Recycling, we keep the seabed running smoothly. But we’re also diving into the future with projects within Offshore Renewables, Seabed Minerals, and emerging technologies.

With over 200 engineers in Norway and a center of excellence in Haugesund, we’re proud to be at the forefront of the ocean services industry – enabling the energy transition and sustainable use of ocean resources.

You’ll play a key role in planning and executing pre-commissioning activities across a range of offshore projects. Your responsibilities will include:

• Engineering and planning of pre-commissioning / ready-for-operation (RFO) scopes for subsea flexibles and umbilicals and testing and monitoring of cables and umbilicals
• Designing pre-commissioning methodology according to relevant standards and regulations
• Supporting vessel mobilization/demobilization and offshore execution
• Follow-up projects through participation in onshore site visits – some travelling is expected.
• Reviewing and developing technical documentation and procedures in projects and tenders
• Advising on best practices and ensuring compliance with international standards (API, DNV, ISO, etc.)
• Follow-up of pre-commissioning sub-contractors
• Contributing to R&D initiatives and staying updated on new technologies
• Promoting a strong HSE and quality culture across all project phases

We’re looking for someone with a solid foundation and a can-do attitude. Ideally, you have:

• A B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mechanical, Civil, Marine, or Ocean Engineering
• 3 – 5+ years of relevant experience in offshore pre-commissioning, including hands-on offshore or yard work
• Good understanding of subsea control systems and the requirements for testing and monitoring of cables and umbilicals
• General knowledge of pig design and functionality
• Experience with FEED and EPCI projects
• Strong knowledge of relevant international codes and offshore regulations
• Offshore certifications (e.g. BOSIET, OGUK) or are able to qualify for them, and ability to travel internationally

• Take initiative and enjoy solving complex challenges
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Are adaptable, collaborative, and eager to share knowledge
• Bring a structured and methodical approach to your work

We offer a dynamic and inclusive work environment where your expertise is valued and your development is prioritized. You’ll be part of a global organization with exciting projects, great colleagues, and opportunities to grow your career.

We also believe in balance – with after-work activities like football, padel, climbing, running and more to keep you connected and energized, both on and off work. 

We believe diversity drives innovation, so we strongly encourage applicants of all backgrounds and genders to apply. If you're excited by challenge, motivated to learn, and eager to grow – we want to hear from you.
