Offshore Project Engineers are responsible for overseeing the planning, design, and construction of offshore projects, such as oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and pipelines.

To become an Offshore Project Engineer, there are several qualifications that are required or desirable. Here are some of the qualifications, training and experience you might need:

• Bachelor’s degree: A bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field is usually required for becoming an Offshore Project Engineer. A degree in mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering is highly desirable.
• Professional experience: Typically, at least 5-10 years of professional experience in engineering or project management is required, with significant experience working in an offshore environment.
• Technical knowledge: You should have a good understanding of engineering principles, offshore operations, and industry standards and regulations, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidelines and Classification Society rules.
• Project management skills: You must have strong project management skills to oversee the planning, design, construction, and commissioning of offshore projects, including scheduling, budgeting, and resource management.
• Communication and teamwork skills: You must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders involved in offshore projects. Teamwork skills are also essential for collaborating with other engineers, contractors, and project managers.
• Health and safety training: As with all offshore-related roles, health and safety training, such as Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) and Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), is essential.
