EARLY CAREERS - A YEAR IN INDUSTRY/SHORT-TERM MARINE ENGINEER  

Osprey Group is offering a challenging and exciting opportunity to join our specialised engineering logistics A Year Industry/Short-Term Internships.  This programme will provide you with hands-on experience at its best, through both desktop and site-based exposure.

As an Osprey engineer you will focus on all aspects related to the full lifecycle of systems and products, and you will experience a breadth of engineering knowledge across our Marine Projects business unit.

Your new company

Osprey is a great, British, logistics provider.  Drawing on 25 years of in-house experience, our people find the right approach, the right combination of expertise and equipment and the safest, most efficient way to transport and install their assets and critical infrastructure.  We’ve shaped our business with family values, and we concentrate on building long-term relationships.  We’re independent.  We may be the strongest UK company you’ve never heard of.

We transport and install the largest structures and critical assets needed to build and renew major infrastructure.  Everything from a new 4,000te railway bridge, to the world’s largest offshore windfarm blade – at 107m long.  With a maritime, vessel-owing heritage to be proud of, we own our own heavy cargo barges; we have one of the largest domestic SPMT fleets in the UK and some of the heaviest lift cranes.  We’re committed to delivering on our promises.  On time, on budget.

Your new job

The In-Year Industry/Short-Term Intern will work in a team of engineers responsible for developing engineering solutions and concepts for a wide variety of projects including heavy lift and transport operations.  The Intern Engineer will report directly to the Naval Architect.

The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic individual with sound mechanical knowledge and is ready to work in a high-pressure and rewarding environment.  They will have a degree in a relevant field of engineering (mechanical/civil/structural), with proven knowledge and experience of MS Office and AutoCAD (or similar software packages) and ideally hold a valid UK driving licence.


The In-Year Industry/Short-Term Intern will be able to:

  • Support the Marine Projects Business Unit in the design and analysis of marine structures, including sea-fastening and lifting operations
  • Assist in the development of design concepts and calculations for transport and installation of heavy equipment, both on and offshore
  • Conduct site surveys, prepare project reports and assist in the preparation of engineering documentation
  •  Develop method statements and risk assessments and support project managers with project delivery, including the coordination of resources, materials and site attendance

  • Contribute to the development of proposals and tenders for new projects
  • Maintain knowledge of relevant industry standards and regulations, and identify opportunities for process improvements
  • Maintain a proactive approach to safety and ensure that QHSE policies and procedures are adhered to
