Project Engineer - Electrical

The Electrical Project Engineer is responsible for supporting and coordinating technical project scopes across the Noble fleet, with a primary focus on automation, power distribution, control systems, commissioning, and equipment upgrade activities. The role supports project delivery from early planning and technical clarification through execution, testing, handover, and close-out.

This position requires a practical offshore and marine background with the ability to work across multiple disciplines, including engineering, operations, marine, compliance, procurement, vendors, shipyards, class, and project management. The role is suited to an electrical professional with approximately 5-10 years of relevant experience who can combine solid technical knowledge with structured project execution, safe work practices, clear stakeholder communication, and strong follow-up on cost, schedule, quality, and risk.

The position is broader than a pure commissioning role and should be able to support general project engineering activities while bringing electrical and offshore systems competence to modification, upgrade, reactivation, and operational readiness scopes.

• Coordinate and support project scopes from planning through execution, commissioning, handover, and close-out.
• Support modification projects, equipment upgrades, recertification scopes, reactivation activities, and operational readiness work on offshore drilling rigs.
• Provide electrical and automation input to project work packs, technical specifications, statements of requirements, cost estimates, schedules, risk assessments, procurement packages, and execution plans.
• Monitor project progress, identify technical and execution risks, and proactively support mitigation of constraints related to safety, quality, cost, schedule, logistics, resources, and operational readiness.

• Review drawings, vendor documents, specifications, procedures, test plans, commissioning records, and close-out documentation to support safe project delivery.
• Support inspections, FATs, commissioning, functional testing, trials, and other required acceptance testing.
• Maintain organized project records, including correspondence, drawings, redlines, specifications, procedures, vendor data, test records, and close-out files.
• Prepare project reports, updates, technical notes, lessons learned, and responses to technical queries.

• Coordinate with vendors, contractors, consultants, shipyards, class representatives, company agents, local support functions, and internal departments to maintain clear interfaces and effective execution.
• Work closely with Operations, Engineering, Marine, Compliance, Procurement, and project stakeholders to resolve technical queries, support decision-making, and align project execution with business needs.
• Support coordination of logistics, materials, spares, services, and site activities related to assigned project scopes.

• Provide troubleshooting and technical support for electrical, automation, power distribution, control, drilling support, and related marine systems.
• Support MOC activities, including technical reviews, redlines, documentation and procedure updates, and handover materials.
• Help ensure project work meets company procedures, industry standards, vendor requirements, class and regulatory expectations, and safety protocols.
• Perform other assigned duties and projects.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent technical qualification in Electrical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Automation, Instrumentation, or a related technical discipline.
• Approximately 5-10 years of relevant offshore, marine, drilling, shipyard, or industrial project experience, preferably from MODUs, drillships, semi-submersibles, FPSOs, offshore vessels, or similar complex assets.

• Working knowledge of electrical and automation systems, including HV/LV distribution, switchboards, PMS, drives, motors, UPS, instrumentation, safety systems, controls, and interfaces.
• Experience with commissioning,…
