About Blakemere Engineering
Blakemere Engineering is an Australian-owned company specialising in solving complex engineering challenges across subsea, offshore decommissioning, mining, and carbon capture.
We're widely recognised for our innovative, problem-solving, fit-for-purpose solutions — from bespoke subsea intervention tooling and well abandonment systems to robotics for mining and infrastructure to support emerging carbon capture projects.
While we operate the largest fleet of cutting tools in the Southern Hemisphere, our strength lies in engineering practical solutions that work — backed by deep technical expertise, hands-on execution, and a sharp focus on solving real-world problems.
We are uniquely placed to take on any design and engineering challenge and will provide a practical and agile solution that will restore functionality, value, and profitability to client assets.
We're now seeking a Senior Technical Engineering Authority to lead our technical standards and design direction across this diverse and growing portfolio.
About the Role
This is a senior leadership role for someone who enjoys problem solving and isn't afraid to get hands-on. You'll be responsible for guiding technical delivery, maintaining design integrity, and ensuring that what we build actually solves the problem it's meant to.
From subsea tooling, well decommissioning systems, mining robotics, and carbon capture infrastructure, you'll be across projects from concept through to deployment.
Key Responsibilities
* Act as the Technical Authority for engineering deliverables across all projects
* Provide design sign-off on engineering drawings, calculations, and technical documentation
* Maintain and continuously improve Blakemere's engineering standards, processes, and QA/QC procedures
* Mentor and guide a multidisciplinary team of engineers and drafters across mechanical, structural, and systems design
* Lead and facilitate technical risk reviews, FMEAs, and ensure compliance with relevant codes and standards (e.g. DNV, AS/NZS, API)
* Lead or support the detailed design and analysis of subsea structures, lifting equipment, deployment systems, and cutting tools
* Interface directly with clients during technical reviews, tender development, and troubleshooting discussions
* Participate in site visits, FATs, and offshore trials or mobilisations as required
* Stay informed on industry trends, emerging technologies, and contribute to R&D and innovation efforts
About You
* Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering
* 10+ years' experience across relevant industries (subsea, offshore, mining, or energy)
* Proven track record in technical authority roles or senior design leadership
* Strong grasp of mechanical systems, structural analysis, fatigue, lifting, pressure equipment
* Deep problem-solving mindset — someone who enjoys designing smart, buildable solutions
* Confident communicator with strong client-facing and leadership skills
* Experience working in smaller, agile engineering teams is a plus
* Willingness to travel for site/FAT/offshore work occasionally
Why Join Blakemere?
* Be part of a growing company tackling the industry's most complex technical problems
* Lead high-impact projects across subsea, mining, and carbon capture sectors
* Own your designs from concept to field deployment
* Work with a team that's practical, collaborative, and solution-driven
* Competitive salary and flexibility, with hands-on work and real-world results
* We have a culture that is second to none — built by people who live to solve hard problems, stay late to fix what's broken, and care deeply about doing things the right way
