As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you play a leading role in solving complex electrical challenges across DEME's fleet of offshore and dredging vessels. You combine technical expertise with strong project management skills to prepare, coordinate, and deliver electrical upgrades, maintenance campaigns, and improvement projects on some of the world's most advanced vessels.

This is not a sailing or crew position. You will work primarily from our Belgian headquarters, where you prepare, coordinate, and manage technical projects for our vessels. Sporadically, you will travel to a vessel, shipyard, supplier, or project location to perform assessments, support implementation, or oversee critical project phases.

Working across multiple vessels, you ensure electrical systems remain safe, reliable, and future-ready while contributing to the continuous improvement of our offshore and dredging operations. As a senior member of the team, you will not only provide technical guidance but also take ownership of projects from preparation through execution.
