Why should you apply to join the DOF Subsea Graduate Scheme?
Our Graduate Scheme is a two-year program during which you will spend time in several key departments to develop a good understanding of what is required to be a Subsea Project Engineer. Our graduates also have opportunities to work offshore on one (or several) of our construction vessels to ensure they understand what it takes to deliver engineering from tender through to execution. The department rotations give you experience with Projects, Commercial, QHSE, Survey, Procurement, Drafting, and others, providing a good overview of our operations. We aim to get you a trip offshore as soon as possible to experience being on a vessel and being part of the team delivering the work.
While we have a structured rotation schedule, we work with graduates to ensure they can play to their strengths. This might mean changing the schedule as we go to make it work for you. You will be given a mentor and supported by the whole team at DOF – everyone wants to ensure our graduates feel at home and gain the experience needed to become the next generation of Subsea Engineers. We hire a small number of graduates each year to provide the right level of focus. At DOF, we pay attention to what you need to succeed; it’s in our interest as well as yours.
We are looking for people who are keen, flexible, and open to new situations. A lot of the graduate scheme is based on working alongside people and experiencing the practical side of engineering, so we seek graduates based in the north east of Scotland, within commuting distance of our offices by the harbour in Aberdeen. We look for individuals who demonstrate hard work, proactivity, and conscientiousness. You’ll receive on-the-job training to help you transition from your university degree in engineering to the delivery of projects in subsea engineering, and we actively encourage you to work towards a Professional Qualification, such as engineering chartership. If you’re looking for a job with a lot of variety that will set you up for a career in the energy industry, we want to hear from you, so apply today!
