• Documentation consistency across product lines.

Maintenance and Lifecycle Management

• Define maintenance philosophies and requirements for testing, inspection, preventive maintenance (PM), and condition-based maintenance (CBM).

• Define requirements within the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), including electrical asset structures, task templates, and failure codes.

Compliance

• Define requirements related to national and international electrical standards and regulations, including ABS, DNV, ATEX, and IECEx requirements.

• Ensure compliance requirements are reflected in company standards, design rules, and acceptance criteria.

Development and Continuous Improvement

• Lead continuous development initiatives within the electrical discipline to improve operability, availability, and robustness.

• Drive development activities to meet future functional requirements.

• Validate new developments through qualification activities and operational performance.

• Lead or contribute to root cause analyses (RCAs) for electrical failures, trips, and degradation events, ensuring lessons learned are implemented in standards and design practices.

• BSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related discipline (MSc preferred).

• Minimum 8 years of relevant experience within electrical engineering and power systems.

• Strong knowledge of power distribution systems, protection philosophies, VFDs, transformers, and Ex compliance.

• Broad multidisciplinary understanding of rotating equipment, process systems, control systems, and instrumentation.

• Knowledge of relevant offshore and subsea regulations and standards.

• Understanding of drilling processes and subsea equipment is considered an advantage.

• Understanding of well control principles is considered an advantage.

• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

• Strong communication and presentation skills.

• Team-oriented, collaborative, and inclusive mindset.

• Proactive, structured, and results-driven.

• Self-motivated and able to work independently.

• Flexible and adaptable in a dynamic environment.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Solution-oriented with the ability to balance practical and administrative tasks.

• Ability to perform effectively in a dynamic and occasionally high-pressure environment.

• Accountable, humble, and committed to continuous improvement.

• A key technical role in an innovative and growing technology company.

• The opportunity to work with industry-leading offshore drilling technologies.

• A collaborative and international working environment.

• Significant opportunities for professional and personal development.

• Competitive compensation and attractive pension and insurance schemes.

• A diverse global culture where talent and technology come together.

This is a full-time position based in Straume or Oslo, Norway, or Houston, Texas, USA.

Enhanced Drilling aims to help oil companies around the world solve challenges on all types of subsea wells, from top-hole drilling, intermediate section drilling, and reservoir drilling through the whole well construction process, including completion. Enhanced Drilling provides technologies and services that have been deployed on more than 1000+ wells worldwide including RMR®, EC-Drill® Managed Pressure Drilling system, Cuttings Transport System (CTS) (which is used to take cuttings away from the wellhead area), MPC Managed Pressure Cementing (MPC®), a complementary technology to RMR®, and the newly developed EC- Monitor system (EC-M).
