With operations and projects in more than 20 countries, we are looking for talented professionals who can help us solve today's challenges and seize the opportunities ahead.

About the Role

Odfjell Technology is a market leader with ambitious growth plans and a strong focus on innovation. To support our continued expansion and diversification of our product portfolio, we are seeking experienced Senior Innovation and Development Engineer to join our Innovation & Development team.

In this role, you will lead product development projects from initial concept through design, testing, manufacturing, and implementation. Working closely with operational teams and Product Line Managers, you will develop innovative and customized solutions that contribute directly to our technological advancement and future growth.

Location: Stavanger, Norway or Aberdeen, United Kingdom.

As a Senior Innovation and Development Engineer, you will:

• Join a highly competent, engaged, and multinational engineering team.
• Play a key role in the development of innovative products and technologies.
• Be actively involved throughout the entire product development lifecycle, from concept to commercialization.
• Contribute to a newly established and rapidly growing engineering environment.
• Enjoy opportunities for personal and professional growth within a global organization.

Key Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and managing technical development projects from concept through manufacturing and implementation.
• Planning and leading prototype assembly, testing, and validation activities.
• Conducting development studies, simulations, and technical analyses.
• Maintaining and overseeing technical documentation throughout project lifecycles.
• Ensuring effective collaboration and communication with global teams and key customers.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives across the value chain.
• Supporting product development projects across all Well Services product lines, including Tubular Running Services (TRS), Wellbore Clean-Up (WBC), and Rentals & Automation (R&A).

Qualifications and Experience

We are looking for candidates with:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or another relevant engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of product design experience, preferably within the oil and gas industry.
• Proven experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer working with product development.
• Strong experience with CAD software is mandatory.
• Experience delivering projects from concept through manufacture and implementation.
• Knowledge of relevant industry standards, regulations, and design requirements.
• Experience with product assembly, testing, and validation activities.
• Previous operational experience within relevant industries is an advantage.
• Experience with FMEA, CFD, and FEA methodologies is desirable.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a creative mindset.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
• A positive attitude and willingness to mentor and develop less experienced engineers.

The Innovation & Development team currently has a particular need for engineering competence within the Tubular Running Services (TRS) product line, so any previous experience within this product segment will therefore be highly valued.

As part of a global engineering team with colleagues based in Norway, the United Kingdom, and the UAE, some international travel should be expected.
