Junior Naval Architect

What sets sail from your design?

At Saltwater, great naval engineering begins with understanding what lies below the surface. As a Junior Naval Architect, you contribute to the development of vessel designs for complex maritime projects. You work alongside experienced engineers and learn how technical requirements are translated into practical and reliable designs that perform at sea.

How you’ll make a difference

You support the development of vessel designs and contribute to the technical foundation of maritime engineering projects. Working closely with experienced engineers, you gain hands-on experience with calculations, analyses and design work.

You are involved in projects from an early stage and gradually take on more responsibility as your experience grows. This allows you to develop both your technical skills and your understanding of how engineering projects are realised in practice.

Key tasks:

Supporting the development of vessel designs from concept to basic engineering

Assisting with stability calculations and preparation of documentation

Supporting inclination tests and related analyses

Contributing to the design and integration of ship systems

Assisting in analysing vessel motion behaviour using specialist software
