  • Proficiency in CAD tools, particularly FORAN, NX, and/or SolidWorks, with the ability to create detailed, large-scale designs for platforms, assemblies, and equipment installations.
  • Strong analytical skills and a proven track record of solving complex design challenges using established techniques.
  • Experience in mentoring and leading other designers, ensuring that all work meets rigorous standards of quality and safety.


The Hull & Outfit Team:

As a Principal Designer , you'll be part of a specialized team focused on different aspects of hull and outfit design. You’ll collaborate closely with Project Leaders and other designers, ensuring you have the support needed to excel in your role. The team is diverse, with expertise ranging from seating and penetrations to primary structure and hull mechanics. This role not only allows you to showcase your skills as a Principal Designer but also offers substantial opportunities for career growth, with potential paths leading to positions like Lead Designer or Project Leader.
