Job Description

About Cogs' Client:

Cogs’ client is a rapidly growing engineering organization recognized for delivering innovative, fit-for-purpose solutions in some of the most demanding environments, including offshore and subsea sectors. Their ethos is grounded in solving complex technical problems through ingenuity, collaboration, and hands-on execution. If an existing product or system doesn’t meet the project’s needs, they have the capability and mindset to design and build it from scratch.

Role Overview

This role is ideal for a mechanically minded engineer who thrives on designing custom systems in fast-paced, high-impact environments. The successful candidate will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to create and refine mechanical systems used in offshore and remote applications.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Design innovative mechanical solutions for complex technical problems
  • Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams across all stages of product development
  • Provide support during product build, testing, and deployment phases
  • Engage in iterative prototyping and continuous improvement processes
  • Occasionally work outside normal hours to support urgent project needs
  • Travel as required for site visits, field support, or conferences

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field, or equivalent industry experience
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with mechanical systems and design projects
  • Practical experience in assembling, disassembling, and troubleshooting mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with engineering standards and manufacturing methods
  • Ability to operate safely and effectively in a shop environment
  • Physical ability to lift 35–50 lbs when required

Preferred:

  • 2+ years of experience taking mechanical designs from concept to production
  • Experience with electrical systems, machine design, or hydromechanical systems
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar)
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office suite, PLM tools, and ERP systems
  • Background in subsea engineering is a strong plus
  • Prior hands-on experience as a technician is highly desirable
