Careers at Cove & Cooper

Solve real offshore problems with maths and physics

Join a small team of engineers who analyse and plan marine operations, from the first sketch to the day the vessel sails, and build the software that makes it faster.

What you will work on

Engineering that goes offshore

Real offshore projects

Installation engineering, mooring, risers and tow, from FEED to the day the vessel sails. Work that ends up on a deck, not in a drawer.

Our own software

KomodoXpert, our lift-analysis and weather-window tool, with its own simulation engine and an AI assistant. You use it, test it and help build it.

Standards and judgement

DNV, API and ISO in daily use, with chartered engineers to review your work and explain the why behind every limit.

International projects

Project experience across the North Sea, West Africa, the Mediterranean, South East Asia and Australia.

Disciplines

Where you could fit

From hydrodynamics and software to project management and offshore operations: if you enjoy turning physics into decisions, there is a place for you.

  • Hydrodynamics and vessel motions
  • Mooring and station keeping
  • Risers, flowlines and SURF
  • Installation engineering
  • Tow and transport
  • Structural FEA
  • Offshore geotechnics
  • Metocean and weather windows
  • Software and AI engineering
  • Project engineering
