Join our latest project!
We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support the delivery of complex marine and subsea engineering projects. This is a hands-on, design-focused role ideal for engineers who enjoy working across requirements, electrical design, documentation, and validation activities. You’ll contribute to critical subsea and rescue-sub systems, producing high-quality electrical designs and ensuring compliance with demanding industry standards.
This is a 6 month contract, outside of IR35. This role will be worked on a hybrid basis, across our clients sites in either Glasgow or Aberdeen.
Key Responsibilities:
* Produce and develop electrical specifications, test plans, and supporting technical documentation.
* Generate high-quality 2D drawings using AutoCAD or SolidWorks, including SLDs and detailed schematics.
* Create 3D panel designs and support wider panel/enclosure layout activities.
* Deliver cable and penetrator designs for subsea and marine applications, ensuring stringent compliance with internal and external standards.
* Apply and interpret DNV and Lloyd’s classification requirements throughout the design lifecycle.
* Support instrumentation-related work, including sensor technologies, environmental controls, and interface systems (RS232, CANbus, I2C).
* Contribute to validation and testing phases later in the project, ensuring requirements traceability and technical accuracy.
* Produce clear reporting, documentation, and technical writing to support project milestones, reviews, and audits.
* Liaise with team leads, production, and wider engineering groups to ensure integration and alignment across disciplines.
Requirements:
* Strong background as an Electrical Engineer, ideally within subsea, marine, defence, or related heavy-engineering environments.
* Proficiency in AutoCAD or SolidWorks for 2D drawings; working experience with 3D panel or enclosure design is highly desirable.
* Experience with cable systems, penetrators, subsea hardware, or instrumentation systems.
* Working knowledge of DNV and Lloyd’s marine classification standards.
* Ability to interpret engineering requirements and translate them into compliant, high-quality designs.
* Strong technical documentation and specification writing skills.
* Subsea, submarine, or rescue-sub experience is highly beneficial.
* SC clearance is an advantage (or eligibility for clearance).
