Job description
Location: USA – Spring, Energy Drive
Job Area: Logistics – Air & Sea Division
Time Type: Full Time
DSV Projects & Industry Solutions (DPIS) delivers integrated logistics solutions for complex capital projects across Energy, LNG, Petrochemical, Mining, Power, Renewable Energy, and Industrial sectors. The Senior Transport Engineer is a consultative logistics engineering specialist responsible for developing transportability assessments, constructability reviews and executable transport methodologies that enable the safe movement of oversized and heavy‑lift cargo.
Unlike a traditional design engineering role, this position focuses on practical logistics engineering, transport execution, route engineering, and technical advisory services. The Senior Transport Engineer works closely with Project Managers, EPC contractors, project owners, fabricators, Marine Warranty Surveyors and specialist contractors to develop innovative, field‑proven solutions from FEED through detailed planning and project execution.

- Prepare transport engineering studies, methodologies, method statements, logistics execution plans and transport philosophies.
- Develop heavy haul, lifting, load‑out, skidding, jacking, marine transportation and multimodal logistics concepts.
- Evaluate transportability, constructability, execution risk and logistics interfaces throughout the project lifecycle.
- Provide technical assurance that proposed logistics solutions are practical, safe and commercially viable.
- Conduct desktop transport feasibility studies and coordinate physical route surveys.
- Assess bridge capacities, pavement loading, turning geometry, vertical clearances, permitting requirements and temporary works.
- Develop mitigation strategies and detailed engineering recommendations.
- Review engineering drawings to assess transportability, lifting arrangements, centre of gravity, transport envelopes and fabrication constraints.
- Recommend improvements that enhance logistics efficiency and reduce project risk.
- Support FEED studies, EPC tenders, RFIs and RFQs with technical engineering input.
- Prepare technical narratives, engineering deliverables, budgets and execution philosophies.
- Provide technical support during critical heavy transport operations.
- Interface directly with EPC contractors, owners, engineering consultants, heavy haul contractors, ports, Marine Warranty Surveyors and regulatory authorities.
- Support Business Development during client meetings, technical workshops and strategic pursuits as the transport engineering SME.
- Mentor junior engineers and project teams on transport engineering best practices.
- Develop standards, templates, engineering tools and lessons learned across DPIS.
- Promote innovation through digital route analysis, logistics simulation and engineering technologies.
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, Structural or Transportation Engineering.
- Professional Engineer (PE), Chartered Engineer (CEng) or actively pursuing registration preferred.
- 10–15 years’ experience in transport engineering, heavy transport, logistics engineering or heavy‑lift project execution.
- Experience supporting EPC, LNG, Petrochemical, Mining, Power, Renewable Energy or major infrastructure projects.
- Demonstrated experience preparing transport engineering studies, route assessments, constructability reviews and logistics execution plans.
- Strong commercial awareness and ability to translate engineering into executable logistics solutions.
- Heavy haul engineering.
- SPMT operations and trailer configuration.
- Lift engineering and rigging principles.
- Load‑out and load‑in engineering.
- Marine transportation and barge operations.
- Transportability and constructability assessments.
- Route engineering and corridor analysis.
- Marine Warranty Survey interface.
- Multimodal logistics planning.
- Technical report writing and client presentations.
- AutoCAD.
- Microsoft Project and/or Primavera P6.
- ArcGIS, QGIS and Google Earth Pro.
- AutoTURN or equivalent swept‑path software.
- Microsoft 365 Suite.
- Power BI.
- Engineering calculation and document management tools.
Domestic and international travel of approximately 20–40% is expected, including route surveys, fabrication yard inspections, client meetings, port assessments, transport trials and attendance during critical heavy transport, lifting and marine operations.
