About the Role
Imagine your career taking you to the depths of innovation and the heights of impact. Our people enable continuous progress. Their commitment, collective expertise, and unique capabilities are the engine room behind the company's True. Blue. Transition - shaping the future of energy and beyond.
This internship offers a unique opportunity to discover the offshore installation industry, a highly specialized field that is rarely covered in academic curricula. As a leading provider of offshore energy solutions, the company is involved in the design, construction, and installation of complex offshore assets, including FPSOs and Floating Wind developments. Offshore installation is a critical phase in the successful delivery of these projects.
As projects move into deeper waters and more challenging environments, installation operations become increasingly complex and require innovative methodologies supported by advanced engineering tools and operational data. To strengthen its offshore installation capabilities, the company has invested in a next-generation installation vessel scheduled for delivery in 2029. This state-of-the-art asset will play a key role in the execution of future offshore energy projects.
