Naval Architect is responsible for designing, constructing, maintaining, and repairing marine vessels and structures, including ships, submarines, yachts, ferries, and offshore platforms. They apply engineering principles to ensure vessels are safe, efficient, stable, and environmentally sustainable, considering hull form, structure, stability, resistance, and propulsion. Their work integrates mechanical, electrical, and structural systems, often collaborating with marine engineers and other specialists throughout the vessel’s lifecycle.
Tasks
Develop detailed designs and plans for marine vessels and structures in compliance with technical, safety, and regulatory standards.
Conduct hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and structural calculations to assess vessel stability, resistance, propulsion, and overall performance.
Simulate and evaluate vessel behaviour using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and engineering software to support design validation.
Collaborate with construction teams and other specialists to ensure vessel designs are accurately implemented during construction.
Provide technical advice on vessel performance, safety, stability, and design efficiency throughout the vessel lifecycle.
Oversee vessel modifications and retrofits to ensure continued compliance, safety, and performance improvement.
Ensure vessel and marine structure designs comply with international maritime standards and classification requirements.
Skills
Basic
Active listening and sound decision-making to support engineering judgments.
Attention to detail and high accuracy to ensure design integrity and safety.
Good written and verbal communication skills for reporting and team collaboration.
