Design cable installation systems for offshore projects

Do you want to apply mechanical engineering and 3D design to offshore cable installation projects that support the green transition? As a Installation Engineer within NKT Grid Solutions Offshore Hub, you will create installation equipment, cable routes and technical documentation while contributing to an international company on a growth journey.

Create practical engineering solutions for cable installation

You will support offshore and onshore installation projects through mechanical design, structural calculations and technical documentation. The role covers metal accessories, jointing pits, cable routes, pull-in analysis and installation equipment. You will work with project managers, site managers, subcontractors and engineering colleagues, translating project needs into clear 2D and 3D deliverables that meet applicable ISO and EN standards.

Your responsibility will be to:

• Design metal accessories, jointing pits and cable installation equipment in 2D and 3D CAD.
• Prepare cable routes, pull-in analyses, FEM analyses and structural calculations.
• Produce manufacturing drawings, technical reports, instructions, layouts and task plans.
• Prepare ITP, FAT and SAT checklists and technical design requirements for MRB activities.
• Provide technical support to Service and Installation projects, including field engineering.

The position reports to the Installation Engineering team and works across project functions, particularly with colleagues in Karlskrona, Sweden. The final work location will be confirmed. Domestic and international travel is approximately 50 days per year.

Analytical and collaborative mechanical engineering professional

You approach technical questions methodically, communicate clearly and cooperate well across functions. You can organise several parallel activities, remain adaptable when project conditions change and contribute with a practical, safety-aware perspective in both office and field settings.

You also have:

• A minimum BSc in mechanical, structural, design, civil or related engineering.
• Experience with mechanical design, structural analysis and manufacturing drawings.
• Experience with 2D and 3D CAD; AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Navisworks are relevant tools.
• Ability to produce technical documentation and work with ISO and EN standards.
• Fluent Swedish and English; cable installation project experience is preferred.
