Our client, based in Cumbria, is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join their team on a 10–12 month contract. This role focuses on the design and development of high-performance, high-reliability subsea connector solutions for extreme and harsh offshore environments. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative engineering solutions for the offshore energy and subsea sectors. With increased experience and seniority, the role will involve greater technical responsibility, leadership in design activities, and mentoring of the wider engineering team. Key Responsibilities * Design and develop subsea low- and high-voltage electrical and optical connectors, pressure housings, and sealing systems using advanced CAD tools. * Perform mechanical, thermal, and pressure analyses using FEA tools to validate designs for HPHT and deep-sea environments. * Select materials suitable for subsea and HPHT environments, including corrosion-resistant alloys and coatings for long-term deployment. * Specify and integrate subsea electrical connectors into mechanical assemblies, ensuring pressure resistance, watertight integrity, and system compatibility. * Drive design decisions that balance performance, reliability, innovation, and cost efficiency. * Promote standardisation and ensure consistency across and within product lines while sustaining high product quality.
