Why did the Lead Design Engineer bring a snorkel to the office?

Because they wanted to dive right into their subsea projects!

As our new Lead Design Engineer you will mentor a team of engineers, guiding them through various offshore and subsea projects that present multidisciplinary challenges in a global industry. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring project success through your leadership and technical expertise. Like all good designers, you have a "split personality"; the creative and solution-oriented personality that appears at the beginning of any project, and the exact and systematic personality that emerges when the fabrication documents are prepared. 

You will play a pivotal role in ensuring project success through your leadership and technical expertise. Join us at NOV and lead a team in shaping the future of subsea industry. If you are a driven and creative engineer with a passion for leadership and excellence, we would love to hear from you.
