Our culture is positive and fast-paced, so it is important that you thrive in an environment where things change quickly. Consilium wants all employees to feel comfortable and cared for, and encourages everyone to contribute in a positive way.

We are looking for an experienced, hands‑on Electrical Marine Project Engineer to join our team at our Fort Lauderdale, Florida office
.

This is a technical project delivery role. The successful candidate will bring a strong electrical or electronics foundation and practical field experience installing, troubleshooting, commissioning, and supporting complex systems. You will lead Consilium Marine US projects from order handover through installation, commissioning, customer acceptance, and the end of the warranty period.

The role is office‑based when you are not traveling and requires approximately 40–60% domestic and international travel, sometimes for several weeks at a time. On‑site assignments may require extended workdays and weekend work based on vessel schedules, commissioning requirements, and customer operating windows.

You will be responsible for the technical and commercial delivery of assigned projects, serving as the link between Sales, Engineering, Operations, Service, customers, shipyards, and installation teams. This role involves substantial hands‑on electrical and field work, not just office‑based project management. Depending on the project, you may manage a project independently or lead a team, but you will almost always be in the field working directly with equipment, installation, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing project scope, customer requirements, technical specifications, drawings, and system documentation at handover from Sales.

• Developing project execution plans, schedules, milestones, resource requirements, and risk controls.

• Creating, updating, and maintaining technical drawings, layouts, wiring documentation, and as‑built records.

• Coordinating the procurement, preparation, packing, and shipment of equipment, materials, tools, and project documentation.

• Leading and coordinating installation activities at customer sites, vessels, shipyards, and other field locations.

• Providing hands‑on technical support during installation, testing, troubleshooting, programming, commissioning, and customer acceptance.

• Diagnosing electrical and electronic faults using schematics, wiring diagrams, specialized test instruments, and other approved diagnostic tools.

• Coordinating technicians, subcontractors, internal departments, and customer representatives to keep projects on schedule and within budget.

• Monitoring project progress and proactively communicating status, changes, risks, delays, and required actions to customers and internal stakeholders.

• Managing punch‑list items, deviations, change documentation, handover packages, and warranty follow‑up.

• Training coworkers and external customers on system operation, maintenance, and relevant technical procedures.

• Performing additional duties as required to support safe and successful project delivery.

Required qualifications and experience:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electrical engineering technology, electronics,…
