• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver structural engineering projects ensuring compliance with industry standards (API, DNV, NORSOK, etc.) and certification requirements.
• Assess, review, and interpret technical inputs required for offshore structural design.
• Prepare technical reports and supervise the drafting of manufacturing drawings for the designs created.
• Ensure all design work is performed, reviewed, checked, and approved in accordance with engineering procedures or as specified in a Project Quality Plan.

Experience, Education and other requirements:

• Relevant experience in the offshore industry, focusing on Primary or Secondary Steel design, preferably for Offshore Wind Turbine Generator Foundations.
• Master’s degree in Offshore Structures, Ocean Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a relevant discipline, with a strong understanding of Structural Mechanics and Hydrodynamics.
• Chartered Engineer or working towards chartership.
• Proficiency in SESAM or SACS software is ideal; practical experience with comparable software is also acceptable.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to adapt to diverse working environments.
