The Engineer I performs engineering design review and analysis assignments normally involving a major project or several smaller, less complex projects. These projects, by nature of their complexity and difficulty, require the fully competent application of conventional knowledge in a particular field of engineering or science. Through broader and more technically challenging work assignments, the incumbent will develop a thorough understanding of policies, methods, and procedures.
What You Will Do:
* Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager, performs detailed engineering review of plans as assigned for compliance with applicable Rules, Regulations, and contract commitments.
* Performs work that involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as the resolution of conflicting design requirements, material standards or coordination of activities among other disciplines.
* Drafts technically accurate and timely reports, and responses to client letters, faxes, and other forms of communication for review by an experienced engineer or engineering manager.
* Prepares accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed.

* Works as a team member within the group. May work autonomously, once trained, with minimal supervision.
* Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training.
What You Will Need:
Education and Experience
* B.S. degree in Civil, Chemical, Structural Engineering, Ocean Engineering, or other related disciplines; an M.S. may be preferred.
* The following are new hire requirements for university graduates and experienced engineers from the industry (either I or II):
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
* Knowledge of related technical disciplines required.
* The ability to identify, analyze and propose solutions to problems (i.e., the competence to demonstrate complex problem-solving skills).
* Good command of the English language.
* Ability to communicate orally and in writing.
* Ability to work well with others.
