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:

- Requirements definition, mission profile, and concept development
- Preliminary sizing, parametric studies, and hull form development
- Lines plan, hydrostatics, intact and damage stability to the applicable criteria
- Resistance and powering prediction, propulsion and propeller selection
- Weight estimate, CG control, and loading conditions
- General Arrangement development
- Structural design and scantlings to class rules or ISO 12215, with FEA where required
- 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

WHAT WE NEED TO SEE

Please do not send a folder of renders. For ONE project you took from brief to production, show the chain:

- Hull model or lines plan
- A hydrostatics and stability report you produced
- The GA
- Structural drawings and the scantling basis
- Production or fabrication output





Redacted or watermarked material is fine. Please mention clearly which parts were your own work and which were done by others.

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

HOW TO APPLY

Answer these four in your proposal:

1. Describe one vessel you took from brief to production files. Vessel type, length, material, rule set, and exactly what you personally did.
2. Which software do you use for hull, stability, structure, and production output?
3. Which class or flag rules have you worked to? Have you personally responded to class comments?
4. Your hourly rate, weekly availability, and time zone.

Send your proposals at email: [email protected] We are building a long-term working relationship, not filling a one-off gap. We will start with one or two paid, defined tasks so both sides can assess fit, then move to a steady flow of work.

Proposals that skip the four questions below won't be reviewed.
