Design Engineer- Platform Management Systems

Your new company
You'll be joining a major organisation delivering some of the UK's most complex and technically challenging marine engineering programmes. Working within a highly skilled, multidisciplinary engineering environment, you'll contribute to the design and development of advanced platform systems throughout the shipbuilding life cycle.

Your new role
As an Electrical Engineer specialising in Platform Management Systems (PMS), you'll support the design, integration and technical assurance of Instrumentation & Control systems across a complex marine platform.
Drawing on your Electrical Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) expertise, you'll assess system performance, support technical investigations and help deliver robust, compliant and reliable engineering solutions.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing and managing instrumentation schedules, Technical Equipment Specifications and contractual deliverables.
• Producing and maintaining electrical keyplans, schematics and associated engineering documentation.
• Reviewing technical documentation and deliverables from OEMs and major equipment suppliers.
• Supporting Senior and Principal Engineers with technical activities and engineering assurance.
• Supporting change and configuration management throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Identifying engineering design rules and supporting their effective implementation.
• Working closely with internal and external stakeholders to resolve technical issues.
• Contributing to system performance, capacity assessments and evidence-based engineering decisions.
• Maintaining high standards of engineering quality, safety and technical compliance.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll be an experienced electrical engineer with a strong background in Electrical Control & Instrumentation systems, ideally gained within shipbuilding, naval, defence, oil & gas or another large-scale, safety-critical engineering environment.

You'll ideally have:

• Strong Electrical Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) engineering experience.
• Experience of Stage 1 Functional Design.
• Experience working on large, complex engineering projects within multidisciplinary teams.
• Knowledge of instrumentation, control systems, technical specifications, schematics and engineering documentation.
• Experience reviewing OEM and supplier technical deliverables.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience within naval, marine or shipbuilding programmes would be highly advantageous.
• Knowledge of engineering lifecycle management and project reporting processes would be beneficial.
• Electrical Engineering safety knowledge or relevant safety qualifications would also be advantageous.
• A Bachelor's degree with honours, Master's degree or equivalent engineering, technology or science qualification, or equivalent further learning and experience.

What you'll get in return

This is an excellent opportunity to work on a high-profile, technically complex marine engineering programme, where you'll have the opportunity to apply and develop your electrical and control systems expertise.
You'll work alongside experienced engineers and technical specialists, gain exposure to sophisticated Platform Management Systems, and contribute to engineering solutions that have a direct impact on the reliability and capability of the overall platform.
