Job description

For a complex maritime engineering programme, we are seeking an experienced Structural Outfitting Engineer to take the lead in coordinating externally executed detailed engineering activities related to secondary steel structures.

In this position, you will oversee the elaboration of steel outfitting components such as access systems, support structures and equipment foundations. You ensure that external engineering partners deliver high-quality 3D models and documentation that fully comply with contractual requirements, classification rules and applicable standards. To achieve this, you provide clear technical input, steer design decisions and validate deliverables against functional and regulatory criteria.

You will operate within a multidisciplinary engineering environment where continuous coordination with other technical domains is essential. Besides technical accuracy, you will also consider practical aspects such as accessibility, safety, ergonomics and production feasibility.

This opportunity is well suited for a senior engineer who enjoys working in a technically demanding, project-driven environment within advanced shipbuilding programmes.

Main Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate the detailed engineering scope for steel outfitting executed by external parties, ensuring alignment with technical standards and stakeholder expectations.
• Provide comprehensive design input and monitor the quality and completeness of outsourced deliverables.
• Cooperate closely with various engineering disciplines to achieve integrated and technically sound solutions.
• Identify technical bottlenecks and elevate or resolve them in consultation with the responsible team lead.
• Respond effectively to evolving project requirements and incorporate updated regulations or insights where necessary.
• Contribute to process improvement and further professionalization of the structural engineering department.

Candidate Profile

• Completed technical vocational education (level 4 or equivalent) in a relevant engineering field.
• Minimum of five years’ experience in the development of steel outfitting or secondary steel construction deliverables.
• Proven experience working with advanced 3D CAD platforms (for example SolidWorks, CATIA-based systems or similar environments).
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
• Prepared to undergo background verification as part of the recruitment process.
• Long-term EU citizenship and permanent work authorization within the European Union are required due to the regulated and security-sensitive nature of the projects.
