Project Engineer


Wärtsilä is a world leader in marine technology and leading the industry's transformation towards a decarbonised and sustainable future. With the world’s widest portfolio and service network, we – Wärtsilians - deliver efficient, safe and sustainable integrated products and solutions to enhance the business of our customers. The opportunities presented through digitalisation and new technologies are offering a new era of shipping. Did you know that shipping is the world’s most efficient mode of transportation and that approximately 80% of world trade is carried by sea?

We want to change the course towards an interconnected and cleaner maritime future and are constantly on the lookout for future-oriented talent to join our team and to work towards enabling sustainable societies through innovation in technology and services - together. Are you ready to jump onboard?
We are now looking for a talented Project Engineer to join our team in Wärtsilä Fleet Optimization. The team helps the customer to achieve energy savings and improve their fleet operations through delivering unique insight into vessel performance, based on real-time data collected from ships around the world and advanced analytics.


This is a position for you if you are passionate about using your technical skills to support customers to succeed in their business. We provide an international front-row seat to the digital transformation of the traditional maritime industry. You will be a part of an experienced team tackling real-life challenges related to big data and analytics.

This full-time, permanent position offers the chance to work in an international environment alongside a talented and supportive team. We pride ourselves on our strong culture of collaboration and provide excellent opportunities for professional growth.


While Helsinki is our preferred location, we are open to other locations within Finland for the right candidate. We also offer the flexibility of hybrid work. Join us for rewarding work, professional development, and the nicest colleagues you'll ever meet.

What you will be doing

As a Project Engineer, you will manage the technical aspects of our customer delivery and data implementation projects for the global maritime industry. You’ll work with complex systems that collect data from various onboard vessel systems, transforming it into valuable insights that aid the decision-making of vessel personnel. These systems include both hardware and software components.


As a Project Engineer, your work will focus on these responsibilities:
  • Managing the technical issues of customer delivery projects including creating and reviewing technical drawings, defining technical components, and instructing our commissioning engineers before installations.
  • Coordinating multiple installation projects with customers’ technical teams, our delivery partners and our own delivery team.
  • Supporting colleagues with technical aspects of our delivery such as system configuration and troubleshooting.
  • Preparing software configuration to allow for project delivery (Linux-based OS)
  • Checking data quality and system configurations to allow for smooth project handover to support teams.


You will shine in this role, when you have:
  • At least Bachelor’s degree in automation, electricity or equivalent
  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience in technical commissioning in similar data collection systems
  • Experience in text-based operating systems (for example Linux or Unix)
  • Understanding of serial line protocols like NMEA and Modbus
  • Good knowledge in TCP/IP
  • Understanding in electrical circuits and basic skills in electric physics
  • Capability to manage multiple customer delivery projects and genuine team player skills
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Experience from the maritime industry is preferred but not mandatory
  • Fluent in both spoken and written English.
  • Experience in the maritime industry is highly valued.


Why you and us?
We at Wärtsilä believe in empowerment, ownership and taking responsibility of our work. We support each other’s growth and co-creation is the true basis of our innovation. We have courage to see opportunities and take initiative.
We are authentic and honest, and we strongly believe in that by being your own true self you can accomplish so much more.

That is why we have built an environment that empowers you and everyone around you, and where you can feel safe and cared for. Are you eager to be part of this ambition?
We have an amazing team and we are excited about our work and the impact it has on building sustainable societies. We are looking to find a colleague with this shared passion for smart technologies and a sustainable future.
