Mechanical Design Engineer | Oil&Gas Offshore | Rotterdam

We are looking for a hands-on and innovative Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineer to join our engineering team working on advanced systems for the offshore oil & gas sector. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in high-pressure environments and is passionate about designing and implementing reliable mechanical and electromechanical solutions for offshore applications.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team developing mission-critical equipment-ranging from subsea tools to high-pressure systems-with a focus on durability, safety, and performance under extreme conditions.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop robust mechanical and mechatronic systems for offshore and subsea environments

  • Create detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and BOMs using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor)

  • Integrate hydraulic, pneumatic, or electromechanical components into complete system designs

  • Conduct structural and thermal simulations (FEA/CFD) to validate and optimize designs

  • Collaborate with electrical, controls, and marine engineers to deliver integrated solutions

  • Ensure systems meet relevant offshore standards and certifications (DNV, ATEX, API, NORSOK)

  • Support assembly, factory testing (FAT), on-site installation, and offshore commissioning

  • Contribute to risk assessments, HAZOPs, and design reviews throughout the project lifecycle


Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Offshore Engineering, or related field

  • Experience in mechanical or electromechanical system design, ideally in the oil & gas or offshore industry

  • Strong knowledge of CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor) and simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus)

  • Familiarity with high-pressure systems, rotating machinery, or subsea tooling is a strong plus

  • Understanding of control systems integration (sensors, actuators, PLC interface)

  • Hands-on mindset with experience in testing, troubleshooting, or commissioning

  • Offshore certifications (e.g., BOSIET, HUET) are advantageous, but not required

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional project teams
