• Support testing, inspection and troubleshooting activities under supervision

• Assist with engineering data gathering, analysis and documentation control

• Work collaboratively with mechanical engineers and other technical disciplines

• Follow Fugro QHSSE standards and safe ways of working at all times

• Participate in mentoring, feedback and learning activities to support development

What You’ll Need to Thrive in This Role:

• Currently working towards a degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline

• A strong interest in electrical engineering and its practical application

• Good attention to detail and a methodical approach to problem‑solving

• Willingness to learn, ask questions and take guidance from experienced engineers

• Good communication skills and the ability to work well within a team

• A proactive, positive attitude and enthusiasm for developing engineering skills

• Basic understanding of electrical engineering principles gained through academic study

Desirable skills or an interest in:
