Naval architect

Are you ready to develop practical engineering solutions for complex jack-up, offshore, and maritime projects? Do you enjoy working together with other ingenious and ambitious engineers? Do you have great communication skills, a sense of responsibility, and are you ready to make a difference in your projects? If the answer is yes, then we are looking for you!

Foundations of Your Job
As a Naval Architect, you will play a key role in delivering innovative solutions for challenging offshore projects. You will apply your expertise to structural integrity and stability analyses, vessel capability assessments, upgrade and conversion studies, and the design of new marine assets. By collaborating with clients and TWD's multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will help turn complex maritime challenges into safe, efficient, and workable solutions.

You will join a small team of specialists working directly alongside one of the industry's leading jack-up experts, with over 30 years of experience in the design, assessment and upgrade of jack-up vessels worldwide.

Our Jack-up & Naval team combines world-class jack-up expertise with practical offshore installation engineering and naval architecture. Typical projects include jack-up vessel assessments, Variable Deck Load studies, vessel upgrades and conversions, class consultancy, transport & installation studies, local and global structural integrity assessments, site-specific assessments, and tailor-made engineering solutions for offshore wind and marine civil construction projects.

A glimpse of your responsibilities:

• Develop detailed 2D and 3D vessel models based on vessel drawings.

• Conduct vessel assessments, including stability analyses, structural integrity assessments using both hand calculations and FEA, and operational capability evaluations.

• Perform site-specific assessments for jack-up vessels.

• Develop vessel upgrades and modifications.

• Maintain consistency between drawings, models, and engineering calculations.

• Safeguard the technical quality and timely delivery of project deliverables.

• Manage and deliver your assigned project deliverables.

What Makes You Great
.

As a Naval Architect at TWD, you are a passionate, quick learner and have strong technical insight. You like collaboration, and you are a good communicator, which makes you excel as a team player. With your enthusiasm and eagerness, you come up with ingenious solutions. You are self-driven, responsible, and committed to delivering high-quality results.

You are excited by working in a small and highly specialized team where flexibility, initiative, and collaboration are essential. You're not looking to become just another engineer in a large organization; you want to help build a growing team and leave your mark on challenging offshore and maritime projects. You are comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy and enjoy taking responsibility for both technical and project-related decisions.

An interest in jack-up vessels, offshore construction methods, and vessel upgrades is highly valued. Experience in these fields is a plus, but curiosity and motivation to develop into a recognized specialist are just as important.

You are the perfect match for TWD if you also have the following skills and experience:

• 1-3years of relevant working experience in shipbuilding, maritime engineering, or offshore engineering.

• You are proficient with relevant FEA and CAD software tools. Experience with RFEM, Ansys, and Inventor is an advantage, but we will provide training where needed.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Technology, or Offshore Technology is strongly preferred. Candidates with a background in Structural or Mechanical Engineering and demonstrable maritime experience are also encouraged to apply.
