Dive into the world of cutting-edge subsea technology and play a key role in shaping innovative offshore solutions with Heerema!

As a vital member of our Subsea Services group, you are the technical link between Heerema's vessels, project teams, and external subcontractors. Your pragmatic mindset and can-do attitude allow you to deliver innovative, fit-for-purpose solutions in a dynamic project environment.

You take ownership of complex subsea engineering scopes, manage technical interfaces with subcontractors and act as a technical single point of contact for assigned subcontractors.

You will independently manage technical work packages, serve as technical SPOC for designated subcontractors and help shape innovative subsea solutions for some of the industry's most challenging projects. This role provides opportunities to further strengthen your technical leadership, expand your subsea expertise and influence strategic technology decisions within Heerema.

• Manage the technical interface between subcontractors and Heerema's vessels and project teams.
• Technically assess and evaluate subcontractor proposals for subsea services.
• Act as the internal technical single point of contact (SPOC) for assigned subcontractors.
• Lead engineering activities related to ROV, subsea cutting and dredging operations.
