• Contributing to the development of our secondary structures design capabilities, including supporting junior engineers and assisting with in-house R&D and software development

• Working collaboratively with other technical disciplines involved with our design projects, such as primary steel and electrical design

• Preparation of high-quality design deliverables, including both written design reports and 2D drawings (supported by SLPE’s CAD team)

Essential Experience:

• Significant experience in the design of secondary steel for offshore structures, ideally in offshore wind

• Familiarity with offshore structural design software, ideally the Sesam suite of software

• Familiarity with typical design criteria and analysis approaches for secondary steel design, including ULS, FLS, SLS, and lift analysis of structures in air and water

• Familiarity with structural detailing, such as design of welded and bolted connections

• Familiarity with applicable design standards, in particular Eurocode standards for steel and aluminium design

• We anticipate a minimum of 4 years’ engineering experience working in design of offshore structures

• A Masters degree in Civil / Structural / Mechanical Engineering, or a suitable equivalent

• A Chartered Engineer, or working towards chartership

Desirable Experience:

• Design of secondary steel specifically for wind turbine foundations

• Familiarity with typical requirements of offshore wind foundation projects, including the impact that fabrication and installation have on the design of secondary structures

• Familiarity with finite element analysis software, ideally Ansys

• Experience using coding/scripting to automate design processes

• Experience supporting the production and review of 2D design drawings and 3D models

• Experience leading or facilitating the work of technical engineering teams, reviewing deliverables, managing schedules, etc.

• Experience guiding and mentoring junior engineers, and overseeing their work in relation to project deliverables

• Proven communication skills, including interacting confidently with clients

• Demonstration of excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and a rigorous approach to the management of quality

Competencies and Soft Skills:

• Excellent interpersonal and technical skills, with a strong focus on collaboration

• Be self-motivated, well organised, and a team player

• Think creatively to solve problems, while keeping an awareness of practicalities

• Excellent report writing skills with the ability to self-check and produce accurate work
