Senior Designer

About the role

As a Senior Structural Designer within our Engineering Department you contribute to the creation of innovative, high-quality designs by preparing accurate 3D models and 2D construction drawings of offshore structures such as wind turbine installation vessels. You collaborate closely with engineers, fellow designers, and project managers to ensure that structural designs are technically sound, traceable, and meet internal standards and customer requirements. Critical to your success is your proficiency in CAD tools, attention to detail, and ability to translate engineering requirements into practical, constructible designs. 

In this position, you will play a key role in implementing 3D CAD design using Cadmatic within the GustoMSC design process, acting as an administrator and technical point of contact while contributing to improved design quality and execution efficiency.
