BarrowInFurness, United Kingdom Anson McCade Full time

Principal Designer

Location: Barrow-In-Furness (Hybrid working options available)

Salary: Up to £43,000, depending on experience


What You’ll Be Doing:

As a Principal Designer, you'll be at the forefront of creating the 3D model for the vessel’s primary structure, encompassing everything from the shell plate and stiffening to steelwork decks, bulkheads, and compartmentation. You'll also take on the design of major castings, seating and mounting arrangements, as well as the finer details like penetrations and component parts. Your role as a Principal Designer will involve leveraging your design expertise to solve complex problems, ensuring that both your work and that of your team meet the highest standards. Beyond designing, you’ll be diagnosing and resolving challenging operational and installation issues, sharing best practices to maintain quality and consistency across the team.


Your Skills and Experiences:

  • Significant experience in a design role, ideally within high-hazard industries such as civil engineering, marine, or oil and gas.
  • 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.
