What is a Subsea Cable job?

A Subsea Cable job involves the installation, maintenance, and repair of underwater telecommunications or power cables that connect countries and offshore infrastructure. Professionals in this field work on cable-laying ships, perform underwater inspections, and ensure the cables function properly. Roles can range from engineers and technicians to project managers and marine specialists. These jobs require expertise in subsea engineering, fiber optics, or electrical systems, along with experience in offshore operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Subsea Cable position, and why are they important?

To succeed in a Subsea Cable role, you generally need expertise in marine engineering, telecommunications infrastructure, and project management, often backed by a degree in engineering or a related technical field. Familiarity with cable laying vessels, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), fiber optic testing equipment, and certifications like STCW or GWO are typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are valuable assets in this position. These competencies are vital for ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable installation and maintenance of critical subsea communication infrastructure.

What are some common challenges faced in a Subsea Cable job?

One of the main challenges in a Subsea Cable role is working in unpredictable marine environments, where adverse weather and underwater hazards can impact operations and timelines. Technicians and engineers often spend extended periods offshore, requiring adaptability to shifting schedules and life aboard service vessels. Effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—including marine crew, engineers, and project managers—is essential to respond swiftly to technical issues and maintain safety standards. Additionally, rapid troubleshooting and following rigorous protocols are crucial, as any malfunction can lead to costly downtime or service disruptions.

About the job
A problem isn't truly solved until it's solved for all. That's why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you'll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You'll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.
The Global Submarine Networks (GSN) team plans, builds and operates the subsea backbone network used by Google to provide our products and services. This international team collaborates with internal stakeholders and an array of suppliers to create construction agreements, oversee the delivery of each cable system, then operate and maintain that infrastructure for high reliability and security.
The Cable Build team is a specialized group within GSN responsible for cable system construction. This highly experienced team blends skills from marine construction, fiber-optic networking, project management and agreement negotiation to deliver this core infrastructure.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $138,000-$198,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities
  • Support subsea cable projects with marine engineering analyses, technical guidance and recommendations.
  • Evaluate cable route designs through leading route working groups, analysis of survey data and fault histories, conduct risk assessments.
  • Review marine installation procedures to ensure quality and cost effective delivery.
  • Provide thought leadership and forward-looking recommendations for survey and installation technologies, and train other team members on marine engineering matters.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and assume project management responsibilities for complete systems.
