Naval Architect for Offshore Operations

Summary

As a Naval Architect you will assess the workability limits of the offshore operations. The workability is a key element in the feasibility during the tender phase and is also one of the most important drivers in the decision making process during project execution. You will assess the workability by simulating the operations in hydrodynamic software packages and by co-engineering with colleagues in other disciplines in an international context. The work is mainly done from the office but offshore interventions are part of the job.
