We are a marine design and engineering consultancy, and currently looking for a senior naval architect who can own a design from the owner's brief all the way through to production files and post-design support.

SCOPE
Across projects, you would be responsible for:

• Systems layout — propulsion, steering, piping, tanks, electrical
• Production and construction drawings, shell expansion, plate development, cutting files
• Class and flag submission packages, and responding to class comments
• Post-design support — builder RFIs, yard queries, inclining, trials, as-built updates

REQUIREMENTS
• Considerable experience in vessel design, with full-cycle project ownership
• Working knowledge of at least one classification society's rules and the submission process
• Fluent in the standard toolset (Rhino, Maxsurf, GHS, DELFTship, NAPA, AutoCAD, or equivalents — tell us which)
• Clear written English and disciplined documentation
