Structural Engineer (Offshore/Maritime Mobilisations)

Are you a Structural Engineer who enjoys solving complex offshore challenges? Do you want to design structures that enable vessels to perform their operations safely at sea? Then, this might be an interesting opportunity for you!

As a Structural Engineer you are responsible for developing structural solutions that allow vessels and offshore equipment to operate safely and efficiently.

Key responsibilities:

• Designing structural solutions for offshore vessel mobilizations: engineering grillages, sea fastening structures and deck integration.
• Performing structural calculations and FEM analyses using Femap.
• Creating calculation reports and technical documentation for Marine Warranty Surveyors (MWS).
• Designing and verifying steel structures supporting offshore equipment such as cranes, ROV systems, A-frames and cable handling equipment.
• Working closely with naval architects, project engineers and offshore clients.
• Ensuring that designs are safe, practical and cost-effective for offshore operations.

• Bachelor or Master degree in Shipbuilding/Naval Architecture or other relevant technical education. 
• Experience with FEM analysis software (preferably Femap).
• Experience with steel structures, offshore structures or maritime engineering.
• Ability to perform structural calculations and technical reporting.
• Experience with 2D and 3D modelling software is an advantage.
• Strong analytical mindset and problem-solving skills.
• Good communication skills in English. Speaking Dutch is a strong asset. 
• Preferably already living in the Netherlands, Rotterdam area. 

Our client is a specialized naval engineering company providing tailor-made engineering solutions for the maritime and offshore industry. The company focuses on vessel mobilisations, structural integration, sea fastening and transport engineering for offshore projects. Their engineers design temporary and permanent structures that allow vessels to safely perform offshore operations such as cable laying, heavy lifting and subsea installation.

Working with an experienced team of naval and structural engineers, you will be involved in international projects where vessels need to be modified, prepared and structurally adapted for offshore missions.

• A competitive salary between €3,400 and €5,200 gross per month.
• The opportunity to work on international offshore and maritime projects.
• A highly specialized engineering environment with experienced maritime engineers.
• Challenging projects involving vessel conversions, mobilisations and offshore structural design.
• A dynamic and informal engineering culture with short communication lines.
• Opportunities for technical and professional development.
