Design Engineer

At Carnival Corporate Shipbuilding (CCS) we work in a project-based agile way, building empowered project teams through talented colleagues that are organised into Chapters. Our Chapters are made up of colleagues with similar skills, knowledge and expertise in a given specialism who collaborate on talent development, knowledge sharing and problem solving.

We believe in the power of diversity to drive success, valuing a blend of backgrounds, experiences and skills. If you're passionate about engineering and shipbuilding, let's talk. We're not just looking for qualifications on paper; we're searching for someone who can bring fresh ideas, strong technical capability and a collaborative approach to our team, as well as our ships.

CCS is responsible for delivering the next generation of innovative, sustainable cruise ships across the Carnival Corporation portfolio of brands. Working in a highly collaborative matrix environment, CCS brings together expertise from across disciplines, brands, shipyards and partners to shape the future of cruising.

We are seeking a capable and collaborative Design Engineer to support in the delivery of engineering work streams across our shipbuilding programmes. You will drive the assurance of the programme being delivered to specification, through ensuring the development of compliant engineering designs, drawings and specifications, while supporting technical documentation, classification submissions and approval processes.

Working closely with internal teams, shipyards, suppliers and brand stakeholders, you will be a key partner to the Project Manager, helping to drive the project forward and maintain momentum across technical and delivery activities. You will bring the right people together, facilitate joined-up discussions between the shipyard, technical teams and the brand, and help ensure that decisions, actions and dependencies are clearly understood and progressed.

Through this coordination, you will help ensure design solutions meet safety, regulatory, operational and brand-specific requirements and contribute to the safe and successful delivery of new cruise ships.

• Key partner to the Project Manager, providing proactive engineering coordination, clear technical input and practical support to help maintain project pace and delivery focus.
• Deliver engineering solutions, ensuring the specifications and design solutions meet project and brand requirements.

• Drive joined-up project discussions, connecting the shipyard, technical teams and brand stakeholders so that interfaces, decisions, actions and dependencies are aligned and progressed in a timely manner.
• Produce and review engineering documentation, including engineering decisions, calculations, reports and technical information required to support design validation, certification and project delivery.
• Apply sound engineering judgement, helping to resolve design conflicts, compliance gaps and technical risks while maintaining design integrity.
• Contribute to design reviews and risk assessments, identifying opportunities to improve safety, efficiency and technical outcomes.
• Drive continuous improvement and lessons learned, supporting greater standardisation across vessels, brands and shipbuilding programmes.

You are an organised and technically capable engineer who is comfortable working across several projects and priorities. You take pride in producing high-quality work, communicate clearly and enjoy collaborating with people from different technical and operational backgrounds.

You are someone who brings:

• Experience in engineering design within the maritime sector.
• Strong knowledge of technical documentation, calculations and design tools.
