As an Engineer in the petrochemical sector, you play a leading role in the design, development and improvement of a plant and you work closely together on the largest projects. Together with a team of experts, you will provide efficient and sustainable solutions that meet the highest standards.

Responsibilities

• Produce and maintain naval architecture drawings for hull arrangements, general arrangements, tank layouts, deck layouts, and accommodation/living quarters in compliance with class, flag, and project requirements.
• Develop vessel layouts supporting stability, weight distribution, operability, safety, and maintainability throughout the FPSO lifecycle.
• Support naval architecture analyses by preparing drawings and technical data related to stability, weight control, draft, trim, and vessel motions.
• Integrate marine system interfaces, including mooring, offloading, ballast, bilge, seawater, and marine piping systems, into vessel layouts.
• Prepare and update 2D and 3D models using AutoCAD and/or E3D, ensuring alignment with engineering inputs and constructability requirements.
• Coordinate with structural, piping, mechanical, electrical, and outfitting disciplines to resolve layout clashes and interface issues.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable classification society rules (e.g., ABS, DNV), offshore regulations, and industry standards.
• Identify design constraints and technical risks at an early stage and escalate unresolved issues to the Lead Designer or Naval Architect.
• Support FPSO engineering projects by delivering technically sound and practical naval architecture design solutions.

Requirements

• Associate’s degree or MBO degree in Naval Architecture, Design, or a related field, or a recognized design certification.
• 1 - 5 years of experience within the FPSO, Oil & Gas, offshore, or shipbuilding industry, preferably within Naval Architecture.
• Solid understanding of naval architecture fundamentals, including vessel layouts, compartmentation, stability principles, weight distribution, and vessel operability.
• Knowledge of FPSO concepts, offshore vessel operations, and marine system integration.
• Experience with AutoCAD and/or E3D is an advantage.
• Exposure to FPSO hull layouts, accommodation/living quarters, marine systems, and vessel operations is preferred.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Experience with engineering design tools, detailed design, systems engineering, and engineering analysis is preferred.
