Exterior Engineer

As an Exterior Engineer, you will be responsible for designing yacht exterior components, working closely with colleagues from disciplines such as Exterior, Interior, Mechanical, Structural Engineering, and Naval Architecture on large-scale projects to ensure an impeccable final product. Your proficiency in modern 3D CAD systems will allow you to manage the design and processing of all necessary information and specifications. Moreover, you will collaborate with the design department and occasionally with external yacht designers.

The technical challenges in this role are driven by the clients' desires and dreams, making design, style, comfort, and innovation critical elements of your work.

Independently, you will set up, sketch, and develop exterior parts of the yacht, including furniture, stairs, swimming pools, sliding doors, and helicopter decks. You will create various solutions for integrating complex components, often working with incomplete or evolving information. Ensuring the safety and comfort of guests on board, as well as compliance with regulations for access doors and ventilation openings, will be key responsibilities.

Your ability to balance the overall vision with detailed aspects, consider manufacturability from a technical design perspective, and generate multiple solutions for complex issues will make you a successful engineer. Following, documenting, and/or establishing work methods and procedures will be advantageous. Your flexibility will also be crucial, as changes frequently arise during the engineering process.

You will maintain constant communication with the Project Engineer to exchange information and discuss the exterior design, collectively reporting progress to the Project Manager Design. Hierarchically, you will report to the Team Leader of Exterior, Interior, and Mechanical Engineering.

This organization is responsible for the design, basic engineering, and all calculations needed for custom-built superyachts, serving as the technical and creative hub for research and development. As an engineer, you will make a significant contribution through construction, mechanical engineering, and naval architecture, involving calculations, fitting, and measuring, all while combining insight and ingenuity. Will you help make dreams come true?
