You will convert electrical drawings, mark-ups, redlines, and engineering input into accurate as-built and detail drawings for naval vessel maintenance and modification projects. Your work helps make sure the final drawing package reflects the actual onboard situation, with clear traceability between the original design, field input, and final documentation.
This role is available both as a permanent employment position and as a freelance assignment.

Where You'll Work:

• You will work from the Den Helder engineering office on a naval vessel project.
• What You'll Be Working On:
• Naval vessels include many electrical systems and interfaces that must be documented with care. In this role, you will focus on electrical installations, onboard modifications, system interfaces, and as-built documentation.
• You will work from existing drawings, mark-ups, field input, and approved design changes, translating them into clear and usable detail drawings. Your work supports engineering, maintenance, production, and final project handover.

What You'll Do:

• Convert electrical mark-ups, redlines, and engineering input into accurate as-built and detail drawings.
• Update electrical drawings and documentation in line with project standards, vessel configuration, and approved design changes.
• Prepare detail drawings for electrical installations, interfaces, and onboard modifications.
• Work with EPLAN, MicroStation, or comparable CAD tools, with internal training available where needed.
• Coordinate with electrical engineers, designers, and project stakeholders to clarify technical input.
• Resolve drawing issues and help keep the electrical documentation consistent.
• Check drawing quality, version control, consistency, and traceability before release or handover.
• Support multidisciplinary naval projects by keeping electrical documentation complete, structured, and up to date.

Profile

• What You Bring:
• A background in electrical engineering, electrical design, or a comparable technical discipline.
• Around 5 years of relevant experience, although flexibility is possible for candidates with the right technical foundation.
• Experience with electrical drawings, as-built documentation, or detail engineering.
• Working knowledge of EPLAN, MicroStation, or other electrical CAD/design tools, or the ability and motivation to learn quickly.
• A structured way of working, with attention to detail, version control, and drawing quality.
• The ability to understand technical mark-ups and translate them into clear engineering documentation.
• Experience with naval, maritime, or shipbuilding projects is a plus.
• Knowledge of onboard electrical installations, automation, drive systems, or vessel systems is useful.
• Experience in multidisciplinary engineering environments.
• Good communication skills in English.
