Jouw uitdaging
As an Engineering Support Specialist (Cadmatic Hull), you will support shipbuilding engineers by ensuring their design and production processes are effectively enabled by CAD and PLM applications. This is an engineering support role — not IT — aimed at professionals who understand how shipbuilding design work is actually carried out and who enjoy improving it through digital tools.
You will act as the functional bridge between engineering teams and application development, translating real engineering workflows into practical, workable solutions within the Cadmatic Hull environment. Your focus will be on supporting hull and structural engineering activities across the full product lifecycle, from early design through to production-ready data.
Working closely with multiple engineering disciplines, you will support day-to-day engineering activities while also helping shape how teams collaborate, structure data, and use Cadmatic Hull and related applications more effectively.
Wat je gaat doen
- Translate shipbuilding and hull engineering business processes into functional specifications and workflows
- Collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and application specialists to analyze issues and define effective solutions
- Develop, implement, and optimize application processes that directly support engineering activities
- Provide functional support to PLM and CAD users, with a strong focus on Cadmatic Hull
- Configure and maintain project environments within Cadmatic Hull
- Manage catalogs, libraries, specifications, and other project-related engineering data
- Maintain and monitor interfaces between Cadmatic Hull and other applications
- Administer user access rights within the application landscape
- Develop and maintain training materials, user manuals, tips, and functional documentation
- Organize and coordinate application-related training sessions together with Engineering Support
- Maintain productive working relationships with suppliers and knowledge partners
- Represent engineering needs in discussions with IT and application vendors
