Engineer II - Ship Design Review

About the role

The Engineer II performs engineering design review and analysis assignments, typically on a major project or several smaller ones, applying conventional engineering knowledge in a particular field. Work is supervised by an experienced engineer or engineering manager, and the incumbent develops a thorough understanding of policies, methods and procedures through broader and more technically challenging assignments.

Key responsibilities

• Detailed engineering review of plans for compliance with applicable Rules, Regulations and contract commitments.
• Work involving conventional engineering practices, including resolving conflicting design requirements, material standards and coordinating activities across disciplines.
• Drafting accurate, timely reports and responses to client communications for review by an experienced engineer or engineering manager.
• Preparing weekly reports and billing for all work performed.
• Communicating workload status to the team so client needs are met.
• Proposing technical advice to field operations and other technical offices, and recommending changes to methods, procedures or designs.
• Working directly with clients to identify and resolve technical problems, and working autonomously once trained with minimal supervision.
• Implementing and maintaining ABS Quality System requirements after completing ABS Quality System training.

Required profile

• Five years or more of related engineering experience in a shipyard, design/consulting office, shipping/oil company or classification society.
• For industry hires: demonstrated computer literacy in engineering software and programming languages; experience in ABS FPSO hull strength and fatigue analysis using SEAS, ISE, TSA, DLA and SFA methods; exposure to global coarse mesh and local fine mesh finite element models, with FEMAP modelling skills preferred.
• Good command of English, oral and written communication, teamwork and problem-solving abilities.
• Familiarity with the ABS Health, Safety, Quality & Environmental Management Systems (internal candidates only).

Required skills

• AutoCAD, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Rhino, FEMAP, NASTRAN, Fortran, Python
• ABS FPSO hull strength and fatigue analysis (SEAS, ISE, TSA, DLA, SFA)
• Finite element modelling
