Mechanical Engineer

About the role

IK Subsea AS is a team of more than 40 employees delivering tailored engineering solutions, repair, and maintenance for offshore subsea and pipeline systems. The company has a proven track record delivering effective solutions and technologies in challenging subsea environments, with over 500 completed projects, for both major and smaller oil operators worldwide.

As a Mechanical Engineer, your role is to develop initial concepts and perform calculations based on the project’s design specifications. You may also be involved in the assembly and testing of the equipment together with the Lead Mechanic at the workshop. Once all design specifications have been met and the product is finished, you will finalize the necessary technical documentation and ensure that the equipment is ready for shipment to the offshore site.

You will be part of an engineering team of 16 engineers across our Stavanger and Poland offices. The team brings together engineers with different levels of experience, creating a collaborative environment where knowledge and experience is exchanged.

What we offer

The opportunity to work hands-on with physical products, from initial concept and design through to assembly, testing, and final delivery.

A workplace with a strong collaborative culture, where teamwork is a key driver for success.

Social initiatives, both during and outside working hours, such as disc golf tournaments, lønningspils, Friday quizzes, and Energistafetten.

Work tasks

• Take technically demanding equipment from initial concepts and calculations through fabrication, testing, and offshore deployment, seeing your engineering decisions brought to life.
• Develop mechanical concepts, layouts, calculations, and technical documentation in accordance with project requirements, standards, and customer expectations.
• Solve complex engineering and execution challenges, make technical decisions, anticipate risks, and take ownership of technical deliverables within your assigned scope.
• Collaborate closely with other disciplines, suppliers, and project functions to coordinate interfaces and ensure successful project execution.
• Support engineering activities related to manufacturing, assembly, testing, installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting as required.
• Contribute to engineering changes, product improvements, lifecycle support, and continuous improvement of engineering processes and ways of working.

We are looking for

• A minimum of a technical college degree (fagskole) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 2–4 years of experience working as a Mechanical Engineer or Structural Engineer.
• Experience with Autodesk Inventor or another CAD system.
• Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
• A valid work permit for Norway.

Personal skills

• Responsible – You take ownership of your tasks, take initiative, and follow through to achieve the desired results.
• Collaborative – You enjoy working as part of a team where everyone’s contribution matters. You are open to sharing your knowledge and expertise across disciplines, supporting more junior team members, and seeking input, advice, and second opinions from colleagues when needed.
• Stable – You work in a structured and methodical way, keeping a clear overview of your tasks and priorities. You are comfortable handling periods of higher workload, with multiple projects and competing demands, while maintaining a steady and reliable approach.
