Role Purpose
We are currently seeking a skilled Senior Structural Engineer to join our dynamic team. As a Senior Structural Engineer, you will take the lead in designing and developing cutting-edge ROV trenching systems and components. Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will ensure that project specifications are met, and designs are executed efficiently.
Key Areas of Responsibility
* Lead structural and mechanical engineering design projects from concept through to manufacturing.
* Prepare detailed engineering calculations to support design decisions.
* Create detailed technical drawings and design documentation using 2D and 3D CAD software (preferably AutoCAD, MathCAD and Inventor).
* Conduct design reviews and simulations to validate concepts and improve designs.
* Oversee structural analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), and power transmission systems and machinery design.
* Conduct FMECA, HAZOP, HAZID and safety by design reviews.
* Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure project specifications are met efficiently.
* Ensure the suitability of designs for subsea and harsh environments, considering material science, corrosion effects, and hydraulic sealing systems.
* Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and System Integration Testing (SIT).
* Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering principles.
Key Tasks
* Develop specifications and concepts that align with user needs and project goals.
* Stress analysis, including beam theory, strength of materials.
* Welding and plating design, including design for machining, limits and fits.
Key Measurables
* Ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations throughout the design process.
* Proficient with Free body diagrams for multi-body linkages.
* Check and approve hand calculations & FEA, including plates and shells, and beam element STAAD pro.
Key Behaviours
* Enthusiastic team worker.
* Good organisational skills.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
* Ability to use own initiative and work flexibly.
Essential Qualifications
* Bachelor's or Masters degree in Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
* Proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD, MathCAD and Inventor) is essential.
* Working knowledge of DNV design codes for lifting appliances and marine operations.
* Previous experience of producing welding, machining and assembly drawings.
* Expertise in structural analysis, free body diagrams, scoping calculations, and FEA (Analysis/SolidWorks Simulation).
Demonstrable Experience Specific to Role
* Strong knowledge of mechanisms, kinematics, hydraulics, power transmission, and manufacturing techniques.
* Experience with material selection, corrosion protection, hydraulic sealing, and inspection/testing requirements.
* Experience managing projects from concept to completion in a technical environment.
