Secure your next move as a Senior Mechanical Marine Engineer within a privately owned, design-led naval architecture and marine engineering consultancy working at the upper end of complex vessel engineering. This role is intentionally aimed at experienced marine designers who already operate at ship scale and want to work in an environment where engineering judgement carries weight.

The business operates with a small, highly experienced multidisciplinary team, delivering mechanical systems design alongside naval architecture and structures. Projects span large, complex vessels and superyachts up to ~10,000 tonnes, with work undertaken from concept through to detailed design and class approval. Staff turnover is low, standards are high, and technical credibility comes before headcount growth.

Ship-scale mechanical systems design across complex marine projects

Producing clear, buildable design output using CAD / Rhino

Technical ownership of assigned systems and deliverables

Close collaboration with structural and naval architecture disciplines

Applying engineering judgement across concept and detailed design phases

Strong CAD capability (Rhino highly relevant)

Comfortable operating without step-by-step supervision
