We are looking for a Naval Architect Engineer to support the design, analysis, and delivery of marine and offshore projects. The role focuses on naval architecture studies, stability assessments, weight control, regulatory compliance, and engineering coordination throughout the project lifecycle.
Naval Architecture & Stability
- Perform intact and damage stability analyses.
- Conduct hydrostatic calculations, freeboard assessments, and hull form evaluations.
- Develop, maintain, and update NAPA models including hull geometry, compartments, tanks, openings, and wind profiles.
- Assess loading conditions and vessel operability for various project phases.
- Perform longitudinal strength assessments, including still-water bending moment and shear force calculations.
Documentation & Class Compliance
- Prepare stability booklets, loading manuals, tank capacity and sounding tables, and lightweight reports.
- Support loading computer validation and class approval activities.
- Ensure compliance with applicable IMO regulations and classification society requirements.
- Interface with classification societies during design reviews and approval processes.
Weight Control & Marine Surveys
- Monitor lightweight and center of gravity (CoG) throughout the project.
- Prepare and support inclining tests and lightweight surveys.
- Witness inclining tests and related activities at shipyards when required.
- Maintain and update weight control documentation and databases.
Marine Operations & Interface Management
- Perform towage, transportation, transit, and ballast stability assessments.
- Develop ballast philosophies and compartmentation studies.
- Coordinate with structural, hydrodynamic, mooring, and marine systems disciplines.
- Produce and review engineering drawings and layouts using AutoCAD and/or AVEVA E3D.
Project Execution
- Select and apply appropriate engineering methods in accordance with industry standards, international codes, and company procedures.
- Deliver engineering activities within schedule, budget, and quality requirements.
- Manage technical interfaces with internal disciplines and external stakeholders.
- Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, HAZID, and HAZOP workshops.
- Coordinate technical activities with vendors, shipyards, classification societies, and third parties.
- Provide support during construction, commissioning, and site activities as required.
- Act as Package Engineer or Discipline Lead when necessary, providing guidance and mentoring to junior engineers.
- Degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Proven experience in naval architecture and offshore/marine engineering projects.
- Strong knowledge of vessel stability, hydrostatics, longitudinal strength, and weight control.
- Proficiency with NAPA software.
- Experience with AutoCAD and preferably AVEVA E3D.
- Good understanding of IMO regulations and classification society rules.
- Ability to work within multidisciplinary and international project teams.
- Strong communication and coordination skills.
