• Proficiency in AutoCAD and other relevant engineering software is required. Candidates must have a strong understanding of oil and gas project execution, from concept through to commissioning.
•  Proficiency in French is considered an advantage, as many of our clients operate in French-speaking regions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical and hydraulic systems for offshore platforms, subsea installations, FPSOs, and topside facilities.
• Prepare detailed technical drawings, schematics, and diagrams using AutoCAD and similar drafting software.
• Conduct simulations and analyses using tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, HydraCAD, FluidSIM, or EPLAN Fluid (depending on system needs).
• Select components including pumps, actuators, valves, cylinders, and other hydraulic system elements based on project specifications and functional requirements.
• Prepare system layouts, P&IDs, hydraulic schematics, and bill of materials (BoM).
• Perform engineering calculations related to fluid flow, pressure drops, load distribution, power requirements, etc.
• Ensure designs comply with international codes and standards such as API, ISO, ASME, DNV, and IEC.
• Coordinate with instrumentation, structural, electrical, and process engineering disciplines to ensure system compatibility and functionality.
• Support procurement, fabrication, FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities.
• Participate in design reviews, technical audits, and HAZOP/HAZID workshops.
• Maintain quality assurance and HSE compliance in all project phases.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline (Master’s degree is an advantage).
• Minimum of 5 years experience in mechanical and hydraulic systems engineering in the oil and gas industry.

  • Solid Works or Autodesk Inventor (3D modeling and mechanical design)
  • ANSYS Mechanical (FEA simulations)
  • HydraCAD, EPLAN Fluid, or FluidSIM (hydraulic circuit design)
  • Mathcad or Engineering Equation Solver (EES) (engineering calculations)
• Strong knowledge of hydraulic principles and mechanical equipment used in oil and gas applications.
• Experience with rotating equipment, piping systems, and subsea or topside hydraulic control systems.
• Familiarity with offshore standards and best practices related to mechanical and hydraulic systems.
• French language proficiency is a plus, particularly for collaboration with Francophone clients and project stakeholders.

Key Competencies:

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Effective communication and technical writing abilities
• Multidisciplinary coordination and teamwork
• High attention to detail and quality
• Ability to work in high-pressure environments and meet deadlines
• Cross-cultural communication skills, especially in a bilingual (English/French) context.

Desirable (Optional):

• Professional certification or registration (e.g., P.E., Chartered Engineer)
• Experience in digital hydraulic system simulation and modeling
• Familiarity with condition monitoring and predictive maintenance tools.
