Offshore Energy & Transmission – Engineering Opportunities

The Opportunity

At Stantec, we’re working to deliver a more sustainable future by supporting the development of critical energy infrastructure. As the energy transition continues to accelerate, we are seeking talented and motivated engineering, technical and package-management professionals to support a growing portfolio of offshore wind, HVDC/AC interconnection and transmission infrastructure projects.

We are looking for individuals with experience across offshore and onshore transmission systems, high-voltage substations, cable systems, marine infrastructure and associated grid connections. Working within multidisciplinary project teams, you will contribute to projects at every stage of the project lifecycle, from feasibility studies and concept design through to Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), detailed design, construction, commissioning and handover.

These opportunities offer the chance to work alongside experienced specialists, collaborate with clients and industry partners, and contribute to the delivery of complex energy infrastructure projects that support the transition to a low-carbon future.

• Supporting procurement and package management activities, including technical tender evaluations, supplier engagement and the review of engineering deliverables.

• Reviewing manufacturing, inspection and test plans, and supporting factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities where required.

• Collaborating with clients, contractors, OEMs, suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver safe, high-quality and technically robust project outcomes.

• Contributing to project delivery in accordance with established health, safety, quality and environmental standards.

About You

We are interested in hearing from professionals who bring a combination of technical expertise, project experience and a collaborative approach.

You will ideally have:

• A relevant third-level qualification in engineering, geology, materials, project management or a related discipline. A Level 8 honours degree or equivalent is preferred for engineering positions.

• Relevant experience in offshore wind, offshore substations, HVDC/AC interconnectors, transmission infrastructure, high-voltage cables, marine works or major energy projects.

• Demonstrable technical knowledge within your area of specialism, including engineering design, technical documentation, design assurance and multidisciplinary interfaces.

• Experience working in an Owner’s Engineer, client-side engineering, consultancy, EPC/EPCI, OEM, supplier, fabrication, construction or commissioning environment.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear technical documentation and engage effectively with clients and project stakeholders.

• The ability to manage competing priorities, work independently when required and contribute effectively within multidisciplinary and geographically distributed teams.

• A commitment to health, safety, quality, environmental responsibility and safe-by-design principles.

Professional registration, or progress towards Chartered Engineer, Chartered Marine Engineer, Chartered Geologist or an equivalent recognised qualification, would be advantageous.

Desirable Experience

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be beneficial:

• Concept, FEED and detailed design across major offshore wind, interconnector or transmission projects.

• Technical specifications, tender evaluations and procurement support for EPC/EPCI packages.

• Manufacturing inspection, factory and site acceptance testing, commissioning and energisation.

• Interface management, including responsibility matrices, interface registers, document registers and common data environments.

• Relevant engineering analysis software, BIM/GIS platforms, document-control systems and project planning tools.

• Knowledge of Irish, UK, European or international transmission, offshore, marine and construction standards and requirements relevant to your discipline.

Willingness to travel to client offices, design offices, manufacturing facilities, fabrication yards, construction sites, ports, vessels or offshore locations may be required, depending on the position. Role-specific safety training and offshore certification may also be necessary.
