We are seeking a Cable Project Engineer to support the engineering, technical coordination and manufacturing of inter-array and export cable systems for offshore wind projects.
The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring that cable systems are specified, designed and manufactured in accordance with project requirements, Employer Requirements, international standards and certification guidelines.
Working closely with internal engineering teams, cable manufacturers and external suppliers, you will oversee technical deliverables, coordinate design activities and monitor the fabrication process to ensure the delivery of high-quality, reliable cable systems ready for offshore installation.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the engineering and technical development of inter-array and export cable systems throughout the project lifecycle.
- Identify key technical challenges relating to cables and Cable Protection Systems (CPS) during early project development stages, including origination, feasibility and concept design.
- Assess cable sizing, lengths, technical requirements, cable layouts and landfall requirements.
- Define technical specifications and Employer Requirements for cable engineering and manufacturing.
- Coordinate and align cable design principles and technical requirements with cable and Cable Protection System suppliers.
- Review cable designs, materials, accessories and associated engineering documentation.
- Provide technical input to ensure cable systems meet project requirements and relevant international standards.
- Conduct market screening and technical assessments of potential cable and Cable Protection System suppliers.
- Provide recommendations on suitable suppliers based on technical capability and project requirements.
- Coordinate technical queries (TQs), non-conformance reports (NCRs), supplier audits and engineering reviews.
- Work closely with cable manufacturers to coordinate engineering deliverables, design requirements and manufacturing activities.
- Coordinate with internal project teams and external suppliers to ensure technical alignment throughout the project.
- Support cable route engineering, survey corridor assessments and the identification of constraints affecting cable layouts.
- Coordinate mechanical interfaces between cable systems and associated protection solutions.
- Work with other engineering packages to align requirements for cable protection, trenching, subsea crossings, scour protection and rock placement.
- Coordinate interfaces with Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) and foundation (FOU) packages.
- Provide engineering specifications and design input to the Cable Transport & Installation team, ensuring cable handling and installation activities comply with Employer Requirements.
- Monitor and review cable manufacturing and fabrication processes to ensure compliance with approved technical specifications.
- Coordinate manufacturing site visits, supplier audits and inspection activities.
- Define inspection and audit plans for cable supply and fabrication.
- Attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and support quality assurance activities throughout production.
- Review and monitor manufacturing documentation, testing procedures and results.
- Coordinate with the project certification team to establish and align the cable fabrication certification scope.
- Ensure cable as-built documentation and test results are reviewed, accepted and properly archived for project handover and future operations.
Essential Requirements & Experience
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
- 3–6 years' experience in cable design, engineering or manufacturing, ideally within offshore wind or the subsea cable industry.
- Good understanding of subsea cable technologies, materials and relevant international standards, including IEC and CIGRÉ.
- Familiarity with electrical and mechanical cable testing procedures and quality assurance processes.
- Experience coordinating technical activities across internal engineering disciplines and external manufacturers.
- Ability to interpret technical drawings, engineering specifications and testing data.
- Strong organisational, communication and stakeholder coordination skills.
- Fluent English, with additional languages considered advantageous.
- Willingness to travel to cable manufacturing and testing facilities when required.
