Purpose

As Naval Architecture Designer, you are responsible for supporting FPSO projects by producing technically sound and constructible naval architecture designs related to hull arrangements, marine systems layout, and vessel functionality. You ensure that the produced designs meet safety, regulatory, operational, and project requirements while supporting efficient engineering execution.

Responsibilities

You are responsible for producing and maintaining naval architecture drawings for FPSO hull arrangements, general arrangements, tank layouts, deck layouts, and accommodation / living quarters in compliance with class, flag, and project requirements.

You develop layouts that support stability, weight distribution, operability, safety, and maintainability of the FPSO throughout its lifecycle.

You support naval architectural analyses by preparing drawings and data related to stability, weight control, draft, trim, and vessel motions as required by the engineers.

You incorporate interfaces with marine systems such as mooring, offloading, ballast, bilge, seawater and marine piping into vessel layouts.

You prepare and update 2D/3D models using AutoCAD and/or E3D, ensuring alignment with engineering inputs and constructability at yard/site.

You coordinate with structural, piping, mechanical, electrical, and outfitting disciplines to resolve layout clashes and interface issues.

You ensure that the produced designs comply with applicable classification society rules (e.g., ABS, DNV), offshore regulations, and industry standards.

You identify design constraints and risks early and escal…?
