Our client is expanding. They have secured some key business wins to allow them to progress and develop the work they are undertaking for drilling contractors in the North Sea and now have an immediate requirement for a Lead draughter / Project engineer to join their team on a permanent basis.
 
The role will involve the successful candidate to carry out the following duties:

- Supervise and check all drawings in the drawing office
- Carry out offshore survey work for large scale pipe work replacement
- Produce drawings and isometrics for piping replacement
- Provide technical input into work packs
- Provide technical input into the process required for decommissioning the old pipe work and re-installing the new pipe work

We require a good piping draughting and ideally a structural background for this role. It would be a significant advantage if the candidate had a knowledge of piping systems and valves and also have had some exposure to the drilling sector however this is not essential. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has served their time on the tools or as a draughter before progressing within the drawing office into a more senior role. We would also very much like to hear from anyone with a shipyard or gas terminal background or similar environment where large-scale pipework exists. It would also be of significant use if the successful candidate had previously carried out offshore survey work before.
 
These are large-scale pipe work projects and the company is also specialist in structural steelwork design and production. They have a reputation for excellence within the market, which has been of great benefit to them in securing some of the highly prestigious work that they have been awarded recently.
