Our client is a marine power pioneer, leading the development of advanced technology for commercial shipping and maritime applications. The Role Our Client is recruiting for a highly motivated and skilled Senior Marine Engineer to join their London based dynamic team. The successful candidate will provide technical expertise in marine engineering to influence the design, construction and/or conversion of a variety of vessels in the marine, offshore and renewable sectors. This role offers an exciting opportunity to lead and contribute to diverse marine engineering projects, collaborate with cross functional teams, and drive innovation in the maritime industry. Key Responsibilities Take a senior role in the design development, analysis, and optimisation of marine systems, structures, and components with a focus on marine systems. Develop the Model Based Systems Engineering capability as project maturity and complexity develops. Provide marine engineering expertise to projects at various lifecycle stages from conception to completion, ensuring quality, efficiency, and compliance with regulations and standards. Ability to understand, supervise, distribute and oversee analysis of important project criteria. Ability to understand and implement maritime regulatory standards at both Statutory and Classification levels. Conduct technical evaluations, feasibility studies, and risk assessments for the marine engineering discipline. Preparation of equipment and system layouts and schematics (e.g., ship systems or engine room layouts) for new build and/or conversion projects. Undertake plan review of specifications, drawings, diagrams, and other technical submissions in accordance with established procedures. Provide technical expertise and guidance to designers and project managers.
