You will be involved from concept design through to basic and detailed design, and you may also support the project during yard or site activities. Your job is to deliver naval architecture work that is technically correct, safe, cost-aware, and aligned with the project planning. On some projects, you will be part of a wider team. On others, you may lead a small team of Naval Architects and Designers. Where You'll Work: You will join an international offshore engineering company. The team works on challenging offshore vessel projects and collaborates closely with other engineering disciplines, clients, certifying authorities, subcontractors, and shipyards. This is not a role where your work stays only on paper.

What You'll Be Working On: You will work on the design and analysis of offshore vessels. That includes hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and structural analyses, as well as finite element and fatigue analysis where required. You will help turn project requirements, class rules and client expectations into safe and cost-efficient vessel designs. You will also answer technical questions from site, clients, certifying authorities and subcontractors, so projects can keep moving with clear engineering input. Profile What You Bring...
