An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Maritime Structural Engineer to join a leading UK engineering and technology organisation supporting some of the most innovative projects across the defence and maritime sectors.
Working within a highly specialised engineering environment, you will contribute to the design, analysis, and development of complex structures and components used in cutting-edge marine applications. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on technically challenging projects alongside industry experts, utilising world-class testing and research facilities.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and analysing metallic and composite structures from concept through to production
- Performing structural assessments including static, dynamic, and fatigue analysis
- Developing complex multi-material assemblies, including bonded and bolted joint designs
- Supporting engineering projects from initial requirements through to delivery
- Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to solve challenging engineering problems
- Producing technical reports, calculations, and engineering documentation
- Contributing to customer-facing technical discussions and presentations
- Supporting continuous improvement and mentoring junior engineers where appropriate
What We're Looking For
Essential Experience
- Structural design and analysis experience within a highly regulated engineering environment
- Experience working with composite and metallic materials
- Knowledge of structural features such as inserts, castings, and fastening systems
- Strong understanding of fatigue, dynamic, and static load analysis
- Proficiency in FEA tools, ideally Abaqus
- Experience using CAD software packages
- Understanding of structural failure mechanisms and manufacturing processes
- Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams
Qualifications
- Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Marine Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline
Why Apply?
You'll join an organisation at the forefront of maritime innovation, working on projects that directly support national capability and technological advancement. You'll have access to exceptional facilities, challenging technical work, and genuine opportunities to develop your career within a collaborative engineering environment.
Whether your background is in maritime, naval, aerospace, defence, advanced composites, or structural analysis, we'd be keen to hear from you.
