PE Global is currently recruiting for a Mechanical Engineer – subsea connectors, for a leading multi-national technology client based in Barrow-in-Furness.

This is an initial 12 months contract position working fully on site to get up to speed, then hybrid work could be considered 3 days on site.

Pay rate is up to £50ph PAYE depending on experience.

37.5 hours a week, 7.5 per day. 8.30 – 5pm with 1 hour lunch. Or, 9-5pm with 30 mins lunch.

As a Mechanical Engineer with a focus on subsea connectors, you will be responsible for designing and developing high-performance and high-reliable technical solutions for extreme and harsh environments. This role demands a deep understanding of engineering fundamentals and materials science to ensure reliability, safety, and innovation in subsea applications.

Duties of the role/Responsibilities

• Design and develop subsea (Low and High Voltage) electrical and optical connectors, pressure housings, and sealing systems using advanced CAD tools
• Promote standardisation within and across product lines
• Ensure consistency and alignment across and within product lines
• Sustain high quality for our products
• Drive design decisions optimizing both product performance and cost and balance innovation with cost efficiency
• Perform and understand the fundamentals for mechanical, thermal, and pressure simulations using FEA tools to validate designs for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) subsea environments and/or for deep-sea environments
• Select materials for HPHT environments, Subsea environments with understanding corrosion-resistant materials and coatings suitable for long-term subsea deployment
• Specify and integrate subsea electrical connectors into mechanical assemblies, ensuring watertight integrity, pressure resistance, and compatibility with control systems
• Conduct prototype testing, pressure testing, and qualification to industry standards
• Generate detailed technical documentation including Design Specifications, Qualification Test procedures, 3D models, 2D drawings, BOMs, and Test Reports
• Lead design reviews and PEER reviews
• Lead or support engineering work packages within R&D and customer-specific projects
• Work closely with all business functions to enable collaboration, productivity and efficiency.

Education/Experience

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field
• 3+ years of experience in subsea or high-reliability mechanical systems
• Experience with CAD software and FEA tools
• Familiarity with subsea production systems, umbilical’s, jumpers, electrical and fibre connectors.
• Experience with pressure testing, connector design
• Proficiency in Technical 2D drawings
• Proficiency in mechanical fundamentals, mechanical engineering calculations, and electrical fundamentals
• Strong understanding of sealing technologies, pressure-rated designs, and mechanical-electrical interface design
• Familiarity with industry standards (API, ISO, ASME, IEC, IEEE and others)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality and innovation.
