About Energy Systems

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

About the role

Here at DNV, what we do matters. Whether it’s helping the Energy Industry transition to a more decarbonised and sustainable future or helping safeguard life, property and the environment, every day, what you do will make a difference. This is our shared purpose and one our people are proud to be part of.

DNV’s Markets & Risk department combines over 140 multi-disciplinary experts from oil & gas, power and renewable energy backgrounds to support businesses through their Energy Transition journey. Within this, our Sustainability & Asset Resilience section consists of around 30 specialists working in areas such as data analytics, functional safety, management of rotating machinery and emissions monitoring.

Our Opportunity:

This role provides a fantastic opportunity to join our diverse and growing Rotating Machinery Solutions (RMS) team. We provide products and services to support our customers in the operation and protection of their rotating assets. Our specialist services include rotating machinery fault diagnostics, performance testing, emissions monitoring, and compliance reporting, vibration monitoring, protection and condition monitoring solutions. Typical equipment we specialise in are Gas Turbines, Compressors, Pumps, Steam Turbines for Oil and Gas and Power Generation applications.

As a Control and Instrumentation Systems Engineer, you’ll be involved from day one, contributing across a variety of client projects, building on your experience of machinery condition monitoring, emissions reporting and reliability tracking whilst developing your understanding of our customers and their challenges, as they seek to make the industry safer and more sustainable.

Based in our Stockport office, you’ll support our in-house developed online monitoring systems. These perform remote condition monitoring and emissions monitoring to collect and analyse on-line data from machinery control systems and data historians. This data is used by our engineers to troubleshoot problems, produce reliability reports, and report equipment emissions.

You will also provide technical support, including investigating communication issues between DNV monitoring systems and the client control systems, and providing on-site PC server troubleshooting, including building new and replacement systems when required.

We have a number of long-term client contracts involving Government permit emissions and equipment performance reporting. You will also be required to undertake site visits throughout UK (up to 20% of your time) for testing, installation, and commissioning of condition and emission monitoring systems.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team of eight, ranging from graduates to industry recognised experts, providing opportunities to both learn from and mentor colleagues. Stretched, but always supported, you’ll be surrounded by people who want you to thrive and embrace new challenges, recognising your hard work and looking out for your wellbeing. You’ll receive a buddy and mentor upon joining, along with ongoing coaching to further develop technical, project management, and client-facing skills, actively supporting your journey toward chartership.

While we also support flexible and hybrid/home working arrangements where possible, in order to accelerate your development within your role, you will be in our Stockport offices ideally for three days a week, collaborating on projects and learning from others.
