So many routes to explore
J P Kenny offers careers at a variety of levels, so whether you're just starting out as a graduate, are a little jaded after plodding the same career route for a number of years and want to re-assess your options, or you're an experienced technician/engineer looking for that all-important next career move, there's bound to be something of interest at J P Kenny.
Experienced hires
Sustained growth means we plan to recruit significant numbers of experienced subsea and onshore pipeline engineers into our UK team. More/Less
Our projects are in locations as diverse as the North Sea, the Arctic, West Africa, the Mediterranean and the Caspian. The technical and environmental challenges are fascinating.
You'll get to work on highly complex subsea system design and operation, offshore and onshore pipelines, often in harsh offshore environmental and difficult process flow conditions. We're continuously evolving our core areas as we tackle a growing number of subsea developments around the world, from ultra-deepwater to the Arctic.
Providing through-life, all-of-asset integrity assurance and operations support to these developments gives you plenty of scope to develop your career, along with many routes to explore.

Career changers
Our six divisions create scope for those without direct subsea engineering experience, but with backgrounds in related industries. More/Less
There is a shortage of experienced subsea and pipeline engineers in the oil and gas sector. J P Kenny will cross train engineers with core skills in chemical, civil, mechanical, geotechnical, electrical, materials and finite element engineering to tackle the specific technical needs of subsea and pipeline projects.
Many of your engineering and design skills will be directly transferable covering the fundamental engineering principles, use of codes and project working. You will initially need to work on projects in a more junior role whilst you learn how to apply your skills to the new challenges of offshore and onshore pipelines and facilities. You will be supervised by experienced engineers and will have access to the J P Kenny Academy, our on-line training system.

Graduates
We’re always interested in talking to graduates and post graduates who’d like to become subsea pipeline engineers with our UK team of highly experienced and qualified professionals. More/Less
Our projects are in locations as diverse as the North Sea, the Arctic, West Africa, the Mediterranean and the Caspian. The technical and environmental challenges are fascinating.
If you join the subsea pipeline group, you'll learn to apply the latest limit state design methods including pipeline burst, collapse, propagation buckling, lateral buckling, spanning, upheaval buckling and on-bottom stability. You'll perform structural design of risers, subsea structures and pipeline end manifolds and inline tees.
You'll get to work offshore on pipeline installation vessels including survey vessels, lay barges, reel ships, trenching vessels and lift barges. You'll also be trained to use advanced engineering software for pipeline design and general purpose FE software such as ABAQUS, and to help prepare engineering proposals, techno economic studies, technical reports, material specifications, equipment requisitions and drawings.
You will encounter equal, yet different, challenges should you choose to join one of our other subsea production, onshore pipelines, field development, operations support, renewables or project management services groups.
Qualifications needed
At least a 2.1 Honours degree in one of the following, although we will consider other engineering disciplines:
- Civil Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Subsea Engineering
- Materials/Metallurgical Engineering
- Electronic / Electrical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
Key benefits
- Broad and technically challenging work
- International travel
