THE POSITION
As a graduation student within Tender & Engineering, you will work on one of two research topics within Subsea Engineering, Cables & Pipelines. Both assignments address challenges that matter to the safe and reliable installation of offshore cables. Depending on your interests, you can focus on improving cable burial operations through sensor data, visualization and automation concepts. Alternatively, you can investigate how cable protection systems can be stabilized more effectively from both a technical and commercial perspective. In both cases, you will combine research with practical input from people working on offshore wind projects. You will have room to explore your own ideas and translate your findings into useful recommendations. Your work will contribute to improving how we prepare for and execute future projects.
YOUR IMPACT
Your graduation research will help us look at an existing offshore challenge from a new perspective. You will analyse the current situation, identify opportunities for improvement and develop recommendations that can support future projects. The exact focus depends on the assignment you choose, but both topics require you to connect technical knowledge with practical project needs. You will work with relevant stakeholders and test your ideas against realistic operational or project scenarios. Your research will result in a final thesis with clear findings and recommendations. Depending on your chosen topic, your work may include:
- Analysing operational or technical challenges in offshore cable installation
- Investigating data, technology or alternative engineering concepts
- Assessing risks, limitations and opportunities for improvement
- Working with stakeholders to test and validate your findings
- Developing practical recommendations for future offshore wind projects
You will join Tender & Engineering in Gorinchem. Here, engineers and other specialists work together on complex offshore wind projects. You will be surrounded by people who combine technical knowledge with practical experience. You can ask questions, share ideas and learn from colleagues who work on projects that take place around the world.
At Van Oord, we build the future together. Our work connects people, technology and engineering to create solutions for a changing world. You will get the opportunity to contribute to that work while developing your own knowledge and experience.
ABOUT YOU
You are curious about how engineering solutions can improve offshore operations and project execution. You like to understand a problem before looking for a solution. You can work independently while actively involving others in your research. You are comfortable analysing information and turning your findings into clear recommendations. For this graduation assignment, we are looking for someone with:
- A Master student in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Offshore Engineering or something similar.
- An interest in subsea engineering, offshore wind or cable installation
- An analytical approach to technical or project related challenges
- The ability to structure research and communicate clear conclusions
WE OFFER
We offer you the opportunity to contribute to real engineering challenges that impact our global project. In addition, we offer:
- A graduation internship allowance
- Intensive supervision from experienced engineers
- Communities to join, such as Young Van Oord, Van Oord Women, and the Van Oord staff association
- Various events and sports activities, such as skiing, sailing weekends, cycling, and motorcycling
