Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom QinetiQ Full time

Package: Competitive Salary + Benefits

Role ID: SF18170

Are you ready to be part of the future? At QinetiQ, we're not just imagining tomorrow; we are creating it. From cutting-edge defence technology to ground-breaking innovations, our mission is to empower and protect lives. Join us as a Senior Naval Architect at our Gosport site, where you will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in partnership with some of the most brilliant minds.

The Role
As a Senior Naval Architect, the primary focus of your role will be the delivery of hydrodynamic testing and design consultancy services to the UK Ministry of Defence and commercial customers. Areas of focus will be hull model design and manufacture, propeller design and manufacture, resistance and propulsion experiments, and cavitation experiments. As part of the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering group, there will be opportunities to be involved in ship and submarine stability, seakeeping, manoeuvring, and control.

Day-to-day, you'll have a key role in planning and leading the technical delivery of programmes of work, such as hydrodynamic simulations/experiments of ships and submarines in support of design and operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Plan and lead the technical delivery of programmes of work, such as hydrodynamic simulations/experiments of ships and submarines in support of design and operation.
  • Break down complex tasks and execute the planned schedule of work. Work with project managers to track progress, assign tasks, and supervise the technical delivery team.
  • Participate in business development activities through engagement with customers and provision of technical delivery plans and resource requirements to the bidding team.
  • Act as a peer or independent reviewer for other projects or programmes of work, where suitable.
  • Deliver technical presentations in external forums, such as conferences and customer meetings. Work with other parties to expand and improve the work that QinetiQ delivers.
  • Mentor other team members to improve their knowledge of your areas of expertise.

Essential experience of the Senior Naval Architect:

  • You will need an excellent understanding of engineering, equivalent to someone who has completed a BEng/MEng in Naval Architecture or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Excellent understanding of marine hydrodynamics and sound engineering judgement.
  • Significant previous experience of delivering projects as a technical lead.
  • Knowledge of data analysis, including experience of programming (e.g. Matlab), is desirable.
  • Knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) is desirable.

Essential qualifications for the Senior Naval Architect:

We value difference and we don't have a fixed idea when it comes to background or education; provided you can show the required level of experience and willingness to learn, then we would like to hear from you.

This role is 37 hours per week based at Haslar, Gosport. Hybrid working patterns are available.

Haslar

Our facilities at the Haslar Marine Technology Park are state-of-the-art, including our ocean basin rotating arm and marine towing tank, offering an unparalleled environment for testing and refining designs.
