Engineer II

Performs engineering design review and analysis assignments normally involving a major project or several smaller less complex projects. These projects by nature of their complexity and difficulty require the fully competent application of conventional knowledge in a particular field of engineering or science. Through broader and more technically challenging work assignments, incumbent will develop a thorough understanding of policies, methods and procedures. What You Will Do: • Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager, performs detailed engineering review of plans as assigned for compliance with applicable Rules, Regulations and contract commitments. • Performs work which involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as the resolution of conflicting design requirements, material standards or coordination of activities among other disciplines. • Drafts technically accurate and timely reports, and responses to client letters, faxes and other forms of communication for review by an experienced engineer or engineering manager. • Prepare accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed. • Communicate the status of the current workload to all appropriate members of the team to ensure the needs of the clients will be met. • May propose technical advice to field operations and other technical offices. • May propose new approaches to problems encountered and make recommendations for changes in methods, procedures or designs. • May work directly with clients to identify and resolve problems in the area of technical expertise. • Works as a team member within the group. May work autonomously, once trained, with minimal supervision. • Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training. What You Will Need: Minimum years of Experience The following are new hire requirements for university graduates and experienced engineers from industry: • Experienced Engineer from Industry: • Hull • Demonstrated computer literacy in engineering software and programming language such as... • AutoCAD • SOLID EDGE • SOLID WORK • RHINOCEROS • FEMAP • NASTRAN • FORTRAN • PYTHON • Experience in ABS FPSO Hull Strength & Fatigue Analysis: SEAS (Sea Environment Assessment System), ISE (Initial Scantling Evaluation); TSA (Total Strength Assessment); DLA (Dynamic Loading Approach) and SFA (Spectral Fatigue Analysis) methods and procedures. • Exposed to Finite Element Modelling as follows: • Global Coarse Mesh FE model for 3-cargo holds extent and/or full ship extent • Local Fine Mesh FE models for strength analysis • Localized very fine mesh FE models for fatigue analysis • Modeling skills in FEMAP is preferable • Modeling quality shall be as per the ABS TSA or DLA/SFA requirements • Five (5) years or more of related engineering experience in a shipyard, design/consulting office, shipping/oil company, or a classification society. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities • The ability to identify, analyze and propose solutions to problems (i.e., the competence to demonstrate complex problem-solving skills). • Good command of the English language. • Ability to communicate orally and in writing. • Ability to work well with others. • Familiarity with the ABS Health, Safety, Quality & Environmental Management Systems (internal candidates only).
