THE POSITION
The Product line Cables & Pipelines within the Offshore Energy business unit is where offshore energy connects to land. Linking generation to consumption through complex and precise subsea installations. Our projects demand agility, technical skills, and deep respect for nature’s dynamics, especially in sensitive coastal and marine environments.
We balance sustainable ambition with practical delivery. Our teams are equipped with advanced vessels like the Stingray, Nexus, and the Calypso as well as state-of-the-art trenching equipment. Combining capacity, precision, and flexibility. These assets, together with our engineering and Offshore energy operations expertise, allow us to deliver on time, reliably, and safely. Even in the most demanding locations.
We work on high-profile projects such as Golfinho, Sofia, Windanker, HKW, , Greater Changhua, Vanguard, Sealink and Feng Miao, where our expertise in pipeline engineering and subsea cable systems plays a critical role in project success.
A multitude of disciplines come together to ensure safe landfall, smart routing, and future-ready infrastructure.
