Installation Discipline Lead

In Ocean Installer we firmly believe that our success over the past 13 years is directly attributed to the exceptional individuals who make up our team of installers. That’s why we put people first!

We are looking for an experienced, motivated and pleasant colleague to lead the Oslo based section of the largest discipline in the Engineering department.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop yourself within several areas. As Discipline Lead for such a team, you need to demonstrate leadership daily, make wise and good decisions which benefit the organization in the short and long run, and develop the individuals and the organization in line with company strategies. Quality interpersonal communication is key to success in this role, as you will be interfacing with significant parts of the Ocean Installer organization.

Out of the 70 engineers in the discipline in Norway, around 15 are working in Oslo. All are allocated to projects, studies, and tenders. Their main tasks are to develop methods for various marine operations, e.g. riser, flowline and umbilical installation, template and manifold installation, spool piece installation, subsea tie-in operations, mooring installation and hook-up, towing, trenching, dredging, pull-in operations to platform or shore, equipment transportation, construction vessel mobilizations/demob. They are also an important part of the team during offshore operations onboard construction vessels and topside of clients’ offshore installations.

Supported from our offices in Stavanger, Aberdeen, and Oslo we have projects ongoing at several locations between Hammerfest in the north and Angola in the south.
