About the Role:
As a Senior Marine Structural Engineer at AECOM, you will lead the design and assessment of coastal and offshore structures, including wharves, jetties, caissons, breakwaters, and floating platforms. You’ll play a pivotal role in structural design under complex marine conditions—such as wave, current, berthing, and seismic loading—while collaborating closely with geotechnical, coastal, and marine engineering teams to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the structural design of marine infrastructure using international standards and codes (e.g., BS, Eurocode, API, PIANC).

  • Conduct static and dynamic structural analysis, including impact loads from waves and berthing operations.

  • Assess corrosion protection measures, fatigue performance, and detailing suited to harsh marine environments.

  • Collaborate with geotechnical engineers on the foundation design of piles, caissons, and gravity structures.

  • Prepare comprehensive design reports, technical specifications, and construction documentation.

  • Provide support during tendering, fabrication reviews, and on-site construction, responding to technical queries.

  • Ensure coordination across multidisciplinary teams and contribute to international projects.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (Master’s degree advantageous).

  • A minimum of 8 years’ experience in marine structural design and project delivery.

  • Chartered Engineer status (or working towards Chartership) with recognized bodies like ICE or IStructE.

  • Proficiency in structural analysis software (e.g., STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, SACS, or equivalent).

  • Solid understanding of marine construction techniques and materials (steel, concrete, hybrid systems).

  • Proven ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams on complex international projects.

  • Exceptional technical report writing and communication skills.
