Wat je gaat doen

  • Take technical ownership of the mechanical engineering scope, including general arrangements, system layouts and space allocation for HVAC, piping, engines, etc. and other onboard mechanical systems.

  • Coordinate the development and delivery of mechanical drawings, calculations and technical specifications, working with AutoCAD and 3D design tools throughout the design and basic engineering phases.

  • Implement and safeguard the quality of mechanical systems, ensuring designs are technically feasible, consistent with specifications and properly integrated into the overall yacht design.

  • Lead and provide project-based guidance to a small team of 2–3 Mechanical Engineers and designers/draftsmen, coordinating priorities, progress and engineering deliverables.

  • Coordinate the mechanical design from concept through to final design, working closely with Project Engineers and the Naval Architecture, Structural, Electrical and other engineering disciplines.

  • Act as a technical point of contact for the mechanical scope, communicating and resolving technical and integration matters with internal teams, designers, suppliers and external project partners.
