After graduating, I was offered the position of R&D Engineer in a variety of fields: pipelay equipment development and fabrication, the installation of load testing equipment for heavy lift activities and presenting lectures on marine pipelines at a number of universities. One day, I was working at the office, the next I was travelling to a yard to test our equipment. I really liked the variation of my daily routines. Working with young, enthusiastic and skilled colleagues pushed me to continue learning.

The work is interesting and diverse; within the department, we assist numerous projects from the vessel perspective, motions, propulsion, stability, workability, modifications etc. Allseas has a brilliant team of diverse culture and background, who share the passion and enthusiasm for the work we do. It couldn’t be different, check these innovative projects we are involved with: installing long and complex pipelines, removing old platforms, installing new ones, cleaning the rivers from plastic.

I first came across Allseas in 2013 during my student years at TU Delft. I was doing my Master’s in Civil Structural Engineering and was in search of an exciting graduation project. Outside the steel structures lab, pinned on the wall, there it was – my graduation project waiting for me! Allseas was offering a thesis within its Innovations Department on the very compelling subject of fatigue on stinger structures. Not acquainted with the offshore world, I grabbed the opportunity to work on an area I was very interested in, in an industry relatively unknown to me. I got myself an interview and shortly after, I was in!

This is my eighth year at Allseas, where I’ve always been involved in heavy lift projects. The company gives you the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment with brilliant people and face a great variety of technical challenges, which demand different solutions and expand the limits of technology.

While studying Logistics and Economics at the University of Rotterdam, I always pictured myself working in a “small” family-owned company. After spells at two multinationals, I’m now in my fifth year at Allseas, and can honestly say I do not  work for a “small” family-owned company. Allseas may be the smallest company I’ve worked for, but they think as big or even bigger than the others!

As a graduate student at Allseas, I was given the opportunity to develop an “offshore grout plant”. This equipment makes the cement-slurry on an offshore vessel. This exciting multidisciplinary project stimulated me to bring my knowledge into practice. The plant produces grout to fill special bags, which support the pipeline against stresses caused by free spans. The on-board system produces grout and pumps it through a hose to bags on the seafloor. My work is now being further developed and will be implemented in the near future.

“As part of the project team(s), you have major responsibilities at an early stage of your career, which results in a very challenging work environment and spending time in all corners of the world.”

During my Maritime Economics and Logistics studies, I started working for Allseas in 2014 as a Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental (QHSE) Engineer. My knowledge of the offshore industry was limited to say the least, but with the idea “go big or go home”, a job interview with Allseas followed and I was hired. Upon graduation, I was offered a PhD position, but Allseas boldly suggested that if I stay, I could be the dedicated QHSE Engineer for Pioneering Spirit  in Rotterdam. It is typical for Allseas to offer a very steep learning curve to young graduates and – obviously – I never left.

“A family company where you can focus on your interests and by doing this you can find your place, your role and your way to contribute”

I studied electrical engineering and was looking for a new challenge when I came across the Allseas website. Despite not having much of an idea at that time of how complex, but attractive the offshore world could be I still found it very interesting so I applied. When I started working for Allseas, they asked me if I would like to program in addition to my electrical work. I had a very basic knowledge about programming, but they said to me “Don’t worry, we’ll teach you”.

“The real positive characteristics of the department are the general attitude of helping each other”

It all started more than five years ago, in the late summer of 2013. I was a freshly graduated engineer and eager to start working. Allseas was offering a chance to work with a futuristic ship and to write the future history of the heavy lifting industry. Long story short, I sent my CV, had an interview and started work soon after.

“I think that the opportunities and responsibilities given to me as a student are a typical example of the projects and accountability given to young, ambitious engineers at Allseas in general.”

I started as an R&D Engineer in the company’s Delft-based Innovations Department. Within a few months, I was given the role of Project Co-ordinator. With a small team, we developed a new piece of equipment to remove ice accumulation on pipe joints.

“Within Allseas, the expectations are high, but on the other hand, you are given responsibility within the company right from the beginning.”

After my studies, I started to work in the Innovations Department as an R&D Engineer. A young and dynamic department where you work in teams with the right know-how, or completely independently, in order to arrive at concrete results.

Jan Willem Metz

“Allseas is continually pushing the boundaries of pipelaying.”

My graduate assignment focused on the optimisation of a pipe transfer crane on board the world’s largest pipelayer, Solitaire. As a team, we regularly looked for improvement possibilities in all areas for Solitaire.

“Allseas is an innovative and successful offshore company with a pleasant working atmosphere, where new challenges are continuously being taken on.”

After my studies in Germany, I started working at Allseas as an R&D Engineer on trenching and Arctic projects, after which I worked as a Field Engineer for three years staying on board of Calamity Jane, one of Allseas’ support vessels regularly.

Raymond Vink

“My career within Allseas has been challenging and there’s never been a dull moment.”

I started my career with Allseas more than 10 years ago, fresh from the university. During my first yearly evaluation I mentioned that I liked the experience of working offshore and after a few months an opportunity as a Field Engineer became available, which I took.

Frans den Hartogh

“Working in different environments, different departments and different continents.”

During my graduation, I worked at Allseas’ Innovations Department, which, like today, consisted of many young engineers. The emphasis in that department was on developing the famous Pioneering Spirit  platform installation/removal and pipelay vessel.

Justin Sjaak

“I have experienced the importance of how much Allseas values in-house knowledge, as employees are given the chance to learn, grow and develop their skills.”

I came in touch with Allseas at a recruiting day where I met some enthusiastic people, talking about Allseas’ fleet and its line of work. They pointed out that Allseas offers great development opportunities for starters like me.
