Job Title: Hydraulics Engineer – Offshore Heavy Machinery (Winches & Marine Cranes)

Job Description:

We are looking for a dynamic and technically proficient Hydraulics Engineer to join our offshore engineering team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, analysis, commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of hydraulic systems on heavy offshore equipment such as winches, marine cranes, and lifting systems . This role requires strong engineering fundamentals, offshore experience, and the ability to work independently or lead cross-functional teams on-site.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop hydraulic systems for offshore equipment, ensuring compliance with industry standards and project specifications.
• Perform hydraulic calculations (pressure, flow, line sizing, etc.) and component selection (pumps, valves, cylinders, filters).
• Develop and review hydraulic schematics , system layouts, and engineering drawings .
• Lead or support system integration , commissioning , and functional testing of hydraulic systems onboard offshore vessels or platforms.
