For our client in Luxembourg (Esch-Belval), we are seeking a highly skilled Metallic Structure Fatigue Expert to join their dedicated team within the Central Maintenance department. As a key member of our expertise in lifting equipment and heavy industry infrastructure, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of metallic structures through advanced fatigue analysis, inspection oversight, and strategic design support.

• Develop and implement a methodology to identify and prioritize the most critical metallic structures for fatigue assessment.
• Review, challenge, and validate fatigue calculations performed by subcontractors, ensuring compliance with industry standards, particularly the Eurocode.
• Lead efforts to uphold technical integrity in fatigue life predictions and failure risk assessments.
• Conduct on-site inspections to verify theoretical fatigue assessments within heavy industry environments such as steelmaking plants.
• Collaborate with inspection teams, providing expert guidance on inspection techniques and best practices for fatigue-related evaluations.
• Ensure practical implementation of fatigue analysis insights during structural assessments.
• Analyze material testing data to determine fatigue properties of metals and alloys used in our structures.
• Investigate metallic component failures to identify root causes and preventive measures, emphasizing microstructural considerations influencing fatigue behavior.
• Partner with design engineers to incorporate fatigue-resistant features during the development of new structures.
• Optimize existing designs to enhance fatigue life, ensuring extended service performance and safety.
• Ensure all fatigue assessments adhere to relevant standards, including the Eurocode and EN1090 for structural steel repairs.
• Stay abreast of advances in fatigue analysis techniques, integrating best practices into ongoing projects.
• Prepare comprehensive technical reports outlining fatigue analysis methods, findings, and recommendations.
• Present technical results effectively to diverse stakeholders, including engineers, management, and clients.

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field (PhD preferred).
• Proven track record in fatigue life prediction, failure analysis, and metallic structure assessment within heavy industry environments.
• Demonstrated expertise in applying Eurocode standards for fatigue calculations.
• Experience with metallic repair techniques compliant with EN1090 is advantageous.
• Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN.
• Strong understanding of materials science, fatigue mechanisms, and microstructural influences on fatigue behavior.
• Familiarity with experimental fatigue testing methods, including strain gauging and crack monitoring.
• Excellent ability to interpret complex data and develop accurate models.
• Attention to detail and a solution-oriented mindset.
• Willingness to perform hands-on inspections in heavy industry settings.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in French and English, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
• Ability to work at heights is mandatory.
• Autonomy, proactivity, and the capacity to lead technical discussions and teams.
• Publications, patents, or recognized expertise related to fatigue or materials science.
• Experience in industries such as aerospace, automotive, or civil engineering where metallic fatigue is critical.
