Mechanical Engineer (Marine Classification)

About the role

A classification society is looking for independent, self-motivated and meticulous mechanical engineers who enjoy solving engineering problems every day. The engineer reads and applies ABS Rules and Guides, and international regulations and standards from bodies such as IMO, ASME, API, ISO, IEC and IEEE. After reviewing clients' documents, the engineer communicates with clients to resolve their design problems and collaborates with engineers of other disciplines on complex marine and offshore projects.

Key responsibilities

• Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager, review plans for compliance with ABS Rules/Guides, IMO and national regulations and contract commitments, including piping and process systems, statutory documents and design calculations.
• Solve moderately complex problems such as conflicting design requirements, material standards and coordination between disciplines.
• Use ABS in-house software or tools such as PVElite to calculate and evaluate equipment such as pressure vessels, anchor windlasses, winches, propellers, propulsion shafting, steering gear and piping components.
• Draft accurate reports and responses to client letters, and prepare weekly reports and billing.
• Keep the team informed of workload status and work autonomously once trained, with minimal supervision.
• Propose technical advice, new approaches and design changes, and work directly with clients where possible.
• Implement and maintain ABS Quality System requirements after completing the ABS Quality System training.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 2 years of relevant experience in marine classification societies, design or consulting firms, shipbuilding, offshore engineering or the oil and gas industry; fresh graduates with relevant industrial experience may apply.
• Good command of English, oral and written, and ability to work well with others.
• Familiarity with Classification Society Rules and maritime regulations (e.g. SOLAS, MARPOL, IMO MODU Code) is an advantage.
