1. Lead the charge on Structural Analysis using industry-leading software like ABAQUS and ANSYS, tackling stress analysis for offshore structures with precision.
2. Dive deep into the details, applying your expertise to ensure designs meet the highest standards - think DNV GL, API, AISC, EC, and Norsok.
3. Work with the best tools, using company-standard software like SACS, STAAD, and GT-STRUDL to bring your structural designs to life.
4. Review and approve steel structure drawings, making sure everything is spot-on and up to spec.

2. You know your way around offshore wind regulations, codes, and standards, and can confidently apply them to keep projects running smoothly and by the book.
3. Fatigue assessment? No problem. You're familiar with time domain, spectral, and deterministic methods, and can tackle tricky structural challenges using smart techniques like sub-modelling and influence matrices.
4. You're comfortable with the tools of the trade - ABAQUS, ANSYS, SACS, STAAD, GT-STRUDL - and if you've got some Python or C++ under your belt, even better!
5. You have full, permanent UK right-to-work status, so you're ready to jump straight into exciting projects from day one.
