Draftsperson - Subsea Projects

As a Draftsperson at DOF, your main responsibilities will include producing 2D and 3D procedural drawings for subsea projects, creating drawings using established templates, and supporting the drawing office in developing new processes. You will also review and update drawings based on feedback from the Engineering team, thus ensuring that all designs meet project specifications.

To thrive as a Draftsperson at DOF, candidates should have experience in creating rigging drawings, vessel deck layouts, and offshore field layouts. A working knowledge of Autodesk products, particularly Inventor and AutoCAD, is vital, along with strong communication skills, attention to detail, and an understanding of industry codes and standards.

While it is preferred, previous experience in a subsea drawing office is not strictly necessary for the Draftsperson position at DOF. However, having such experience can be a significant advantage, as it equips candidates with an understanding of the specific challenges and requirements in subsea project delivery.

At DOF, a Draftsperson can expect a supportive and collaborative work environment. The role is mostly office-based, but we also promote hybrid working, allowing some flexibility for remote work. Employees are encouraged to interact with various teams across different locations, enhancing their knowledge and workflow.

DOF places a high priority on safety, integrity, and ethical operations for all employees, including Draftspersons. All team members are expected to uphold these values in their work, ensuring that all projects are completed safely and responsibly while maintaining open communication at all levels.
