About the Role

The Mechanical CAD Design, Subsea Umbilical role based in Barrow-in-Furness offers a permanent position with a salary between £45,000 and £68,000 per annum. The successful candidate will design and develop connectors, pressure housings, and sealing systems for high-pressure underwater applications using CAD and FEA tools. Key responsibilities include performing mechanical, thermal, and pressure simulations for HPHT environments. Requirements include subsea or offshore system design experience, fluency in CAD and FEA software, and knowledge of subsea production systems, umbilicals, jumpers, and electrical or fibre connectors. Understanding sealing technologies, pressure-rated designs, and mechanical-electrical interfaces is essential. A BEng or MEng in mechanical engineering or a related discipline is required. This role involves working on Low and High Voltage subsea components.
