BRAND NEW ROLE: Structural Analysis Engineer – Offshore & Marine Assets Experience: 4–8 years Back with another brilliant, brand new position, LMOceans are looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer, on behalf of an international engineering design&build brand, working across complex offshore and marine projects. This opportunity would suit an engineer with 4–8 years’ relevant experience who enjoys detailed technical work and collaborating with colleagues across engineering disciplines. This person will contribute to the analysis and verification of structures for floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facilities and other offshore installations, with support from experienced senior engineers. The role Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out global and local structural analyses for hull structures, topside modules, support structures, foundations and marine systems.
• Preparing finite element models, engineering calculations and technical reports.
• Undertaking Ultimate Limit State (ULS), Accidental Limit State (ALS) and Fatigue Limit State (FLS) assessments.
• Assessing structures for transportation, lifting, installation, operation and life extension.
• Checking designs against project specifications, classification society rules and relevant regulatory requirements.
• Supporting classification submissions, technical queries and design reviews.
• Contributing to concept development, front-end engineering design (FEED), detailed engineering and tender activities.
• Working closely with naval architecture, marine, mechanical, process, piping and project teams.

About you We are looking for someone with:

• A BSc or MSc in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Naval Architecture, Offshore Engineering or a related discipline.
• 4–8 years’ relevant experience in offshore, marine, shipbuilding or floating production projects.
• A sound understanding of structural mechanics, finite element analysis and structural strength assessment.
• Practical experience of global and/or local finite element analysis.
• Experience of strength and fatigue assessments, with knowledge of accidental limit state assessments advantageous.
• Familiarity with classification society requirements, particularly DNV and/or ABS.
• Hands-on experience with relevant analysis software, such as DNV Sesam GeniE, Sestra, Nauticus Hull, ABS analysis tools, Simcenter FEMAP, MSC Nastran or equivalent.
• Good written and spoken English, including the ability to prepare clear technical documentation.

Experience in hull girder strength, topside integration, module foundations, fatigue life assessment or structural modifications would be advantageous. Norwegian language skills would also be beneficial but the business language remains English. Anyone applying should believe they have strong analytical skills, attention to detail and a practical approach to solving engineering problems and you should be comfortable taking responsibility for assigned tasks, contributing to technical discussions and working collaboratively to meet project deadlines. What’s on offer

• Technically varied offshore and marine projects
• Close collaboration with major shipyards and end-clients
• Opportunities to develop your expertise alongside experienced engineers.
• Involvement in international offshore energy developments.
• A competitive remuneration package and flexible working arrangements.
• A collaborative working environment focused on technical quality and professional development.
