DescriptionABS Government Engineering Services (GES) is searching for a Senior Engineer I to assist with ship structure stability and load line reviews. This person will perform 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 the ideal candidate will develop a thorough understanding of policies methods and procedures.
The individual will support Canadian and U.S. government agencies (Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Department of National Defence (DND) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)) by performing various classification and certification services for surface vessels. An individual will need to be a Canadian Citizen or have permanent residence status in Canada. Must have or be able to attain a security clearance.
What You Will Do:
Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager performs detailed engineering review of ship structural plans and stability analyses as assigned for compliance with applicable Rules Regulations and contract commitments.
Prepared first principal calculations using computer-aided engineering tools to predict the structural integrity of the vessel.
Perform classical stress calculations finite element stress analysis and fatigue analysis.
Use of finite element modeling techniques primarily FEMAP for finite element model development and NASTRAN finite element solution.
Perform Seakeeping Analysis and Structural Dynamic Analysis using ABS DLA/SFA software.
Prepare technical reports and work with other engineers to find resolutions to problems.
Maintain the technical quality content consistency continuity and timeliness of action of all assigned projects to ABS standards.
Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training.
Prepared calculations by hand or using computer-aided engineering tools to predict the structural integrity of the vessel.
What You Will Need:
