The Senior Design Engineer will support the delivery of innovative engineering solutions from conception and detailed design – all the way through to project management and delivery.  The post holder will provide general engineering support in the design of temporary works, permanent steel works, sea-fastening and other similar works for E&S, subsea survey, and construction projects.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the Senior Design Engineer will have the following main duties and responsibilities:

• Providing innovative engineering solutions for the Offshore Energy sector.
• Carrying out conceptual and detailed 3D modelling, detailed engineering drawings and schematics – using proprietary CAD packages.
• Undertaking engineering calculations, ensuring fitness for purpose of designs.
• Effective design optimisation, including the selection of components and materials.
• Carrying out engineering analysis, primarily Finite Element Analysis.
• Leading, and participating in, in-house and client-based design reviews.
• Reviewing and approving engineering drawings, calculations, analysis models and documentation.
• Compiling technical and commercial documentation including reports, calculations, specifications, parts lists, test and operational procedures, manufacturing data, and project cost projections.
• Interfacing and technical liaison with other company staff across multiple sites, as well as clients and suppliers.
• Project engineering and managing design and build projects.
• Monitoring live budget for projects.
• Providing support to the development and submission of tenders.
• Liaising with 3rd party design verification bodies.
• Providing day to day leadership, supervision, support, and guidance to Junior Engineers in their project activities and in their engineering development.
• Providing offshore engineering support activities from onshore, as well as from location offshore, as required.
• Providing day to day engineering support and advice to Manufacturing and Test and Assembly Departments.
