Our client, a specialist offshore engineering consultancy, is growing its offshore structures team and is looking for a Senior Structural Design Engineer. You will deliver the 3D models and fabrication drawings for offshore platforms, jackets and foundations across oil and gas, offshore wind and CCUS projects, from concept selection through to construction and installation. You will work closely with discipline engineers and fabrication specialists to make sure every design can be fabricated, transported and installed efficiently. This is a permanent position based in Greater London (UK).

- 5 to 10 years of structural drafting and 3D modelling experience in the offshore energy sector, working to international codes (API, EN, ISO, DNV, AWS)
- Proven hands-on experience in offshore jacket and/or platform structural design (this is the core requirement for the role)
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks or E3D, plus AutoCAD, including large structural assemblies and fabrication drawings. SolidWorks is preferred; PDMS, MicroStation or Tekla is a plus
- Experience producing fabrication details: steelwork assemblies, connections and structural detailing
- Understanding of fabrication, transportation and installation requirements for offshore structures; experience with rig-installed platforms is a plus
