• Marine Structural & Geotechnical Design
  • Develop conceptual and detailed designs for marine infrastructure, including breakwaters, quay walls, jetties, berths, revetments, dolphins, and dredging works.
  • Conduct geotechnical assessments for foundation design of marine structures.
  • Perform structural analysis for marine elements, ensuring compliance with industry codes and project specifications.
  • Perform peer review and optimize design inputs received from consultants.
• Hydrodynamic & Coastal Engineering Studies
  • Specify, interpret, and analyze marine studies, including:
    • Metocean Study – Wind, wave, and current conditions analysis.
    • Wave Transformation Study – Shoreline impact and nearshore wave climate evaluation.
    • Wave Penetration Study – Analysis of wave conditions within harbors and enclosed areas.
    • Hydrodynamic Modelling Study – Simulation of tidal currents, waves, and storm surges.
    • Sediment Transport Modelling– Coastal erosion and sediment movement assessment.
    • Dredge Plume Dispersion Modelling – Impact assessment of dredging activities.
    • Ensure study results are accurately incorporated into the design of marine structures.
• Technical Coordination & Project Execution
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (civil, geotechnical, tender, planning, and environmental engineers) to ensure seamless project integration.
  • Provide technical guidance to support construction activities.
  • Assess and recommend construction methodologies for marine works.
  • Conduct risk assessments for marine engineering designs.
• Regulatory Compliance & Industry Standards
  • Ensure all designs comply with relevant international codes and standards (e.g., PIANC, BS, API, Eurocode, DNV, ABS).
  • Liaise with regulatory authorities and stakeholders to ensure environmental and safety compliance.
  • Prepare technical reports, specifications, and documentation for project submissions when D&B or verify the input from consultants.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Marine Engineering, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Coastal Engineering.
• Minimum 5–10 years of experience in marine and coastal engineering projects.
• Strong knowledge of marine hydrodynamics, wave mechanics, and sediment transport processes.
• Proficiency in engineering software such as:
  • Structural Analysis: STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, Plaxis
  • Coastal & Hydrodynamic Modelling: MIKE21, SWAN, Delft3D, OpenFOAM
  • Geotechnical Analysis: Slope/W, GeoStudio, LPILE
• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to develop practical engineering solutions quickly.
• Strong communication skills to interface with clients, consultants, and project stakeholders.
• Ability to work in offshore and remote project locations if required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in dredging, land reclamation, and port development.
• Knowledge of marine environmental impact assessments.
• Familiarity with numerical modelling techniques for hydrodynamics and sediment transport.
• Chartership or professional certification (e.g., CEng, PE, PMP) is an advantage.
