What are you going to do?

For one of our clients in the Amsterdam area, we are currently looking for a Senior Structural Engineer to further strenghten their organisation.

Information
The Engineering Department is responsible for providing Engineering services and solutions and it ensures a responsible approach to client requirements, international rules and regulations and HSEQ obligations. Structural Engineering is part of the Department and is responsible for the design and engineering of the (steel) offshore structures. These structures are designed using 3D design tools.

Additionally, you will contribute to the ongoing development of the tools and methodologies, ensuring they align with the demanding market requirements of the offshore energy industry.  

In this role, you will report directly to the Lead (Project) Engineer, providing regular updates on progress, setbacks and concerns related to the project. You will implement the HSEQ&RC requirements and assist the Lead (Project) Engineer in related meetings. Timely responses to Inter Discipline Checks, site queries, client communications, certifying authority requests, and vendor interactions will be crucial to ensuring smooth project execution. As you gain experience and demonstrate good performance, there is potential for growth into a.o. a specialist or lead engineer role.
