Project Engineer – Hampshire

Salary: DOE

An established engineering and technology organisation is seeking a Project Engineer to support the delivery of complex, bespoke systems from concept through to deployment.

This is an opportunity to join a highly technical team developing advanced systems for challenging operational environments. The organisation values innovation, collaboration and different ways of thinking, and offers the chance to work on meaningful engineering projects with real-world impact.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on technically complex projects alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams, contributing directly to the design, integration, testing and delivery of advanced underwater technologies used globally.

The Role

As a Project Engineer, you will play a key role throughout the full project lifecycle, supporting the development, verification and delivery of custom subsea solutions. Working closely with Project Managers, Systems Engineers and engineering specialists, you will help ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with customer and technical requirements.

The role combines hands-on engineering, testing, technical problem solving and customer interaction, offering broad exposure across hardware, software, electronics and systems integration.

You will typically support several concurrent projects while also providing technical assistance for systems already deployed in the field.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the delivery of bespoke subsea systems and instrumentation across a range of offshore and defence applications.
  • Develop and execute bench, environmental and in-water testing activities to validate system performance.
  • Assemble and integrate mechanical and electronic systems from board level through to complete products.
  • Investigate, diagnose and resolve technical faults at component and system level.
  • Work with Project Managers and Systems Engineers to define customer requirements and develop technical solutions.
  • Support prototype development, product verification and evaluation activities.
  • Produce and maintain technical documentation including manuals, interface specifications, test procedures and manufacturing records.
  • Coordinate activities across multidisciplinary engineering teams including Mechanical, Electronics, Software and Production.
  • Participate in customer acceptance testing, demonstrations and trials activities.
