Job description

Local Unit & Position Description:
Here at DNV, what we do matters. Whether it’s helping the Energy Industry transition to a more decarbonised and sustainable future or helping safeguard life, property and the environment, every day, what you do will make a difference. This is our shared purpose and one our people are proud to be part of.

Our highly respected Risk Advisory department in the UK and Ireland, is primarily responsible for the delivery of consultancy-based safety, integrity and risk management services. We provide high quality advisory services to the onshore and offshore oil and gas sector (upstream, midstream and downstream) and, increasingly, provide similar services to the evolving hydrogen and renewables sectors.

Within this, our specialist integrity teams deliver a range of critical consultancy services such as failure investigation, fitness for service assessment, stress analysis, life extension, risk-based inspection, asset health assessment, and vibration assessment and risk management, to operators in support of their ongoing operations.

We are also leading our industry in advising clients how to repurpose their existing assets for the transportation of hydrogen or carbon dioxide to support the energy transition and deliver the innovative solutions that our industry and planet needs. This multi-disciplinary approach, with materials and integrity engineers working alongside our other discipline experts drawn from safety, flow assurance and rotating equipment, is what makes what we do unique.

Our Opportunity:

As a Senior or Principal Vibration and Integrity Engineer within our specialist Vibration and Asset Health team, you will support clients across the energy industry through provision of advisory services to manage the mechanical integrity of assets throughout their life cycle.
Key services delivered by the team include:

  • Pipework and structural vibration measurement and investigation
  • Theoretical analysis of vibration, fluid pulsation and noise issues

  • Plant condition assessments to support operational, integrity and safety objectives
  • Compressor testing to ensure safe and efficient operation

As a highly analytical Senior or Principal Mechanical Engineer, you will support and lead projects in the above areas for process plant and pipework on energy industry assets, including gas processing, transmission and distribution facilities. You’ll be responsible for project delivery across the full life cycle, from proposal preparation, methodology development, analysis and reporting, through to recommendation and development of solutions.

Your expertise will be invaluable in helping shape our team's approach to creating innovative solutions for our clients, defining our future strategy, and enhancing our capabilities to identify opportunities for wider integration of our services.

In this varied role you will also collaborate with our business development team, contributing to winning new business with existing and potential clients, developing proposals, bidding for contracts, attending client meetings and building relationships with key stakeholders.

Here at DNV we encourage hybrid working, allowing you to divide your time between being primarily based from our Loughborough (Leicestershire) offices and working remotely. The nature of this role will also require flexibility to with offshore assignments a possibility, and will therefore require a willingness to work on short to medium term offshore assignments as required and flexibility to travel across the UK and occasionally overseas to attend client meetings and conferences etc.
