Naval Designer

From sketch to ship

Work on maritime systems where precision and reliability make all the difference. At Nevesbu, you’ll have the freedom to shape complex designs and chart your own technical course.

As a Naval Designer, you translate technical requirements into well-thought-out designs for naval vessels and offshore structures. You develop plans, layouts, and 3D models that directly contribute to the ship’s manufacturability and functionality. In doing so, you lay the foundation for ships that perform under the harshest conditions. You coordinate closely with engineers and other disciplines to ensure designs fit together seamlessly. Additionally, you review drawings from suppliers and verify that they meet operational requirements and interface specifications. You mentor designers and drafters, allocate work, and monitor quality and progress. Your insight and organisational skills result in designs that are accurate down to the last detail and can be executed within schedule.

You’ll work in a team of about 20 naval architects and designers from various countries. The atmosphere is open and professionally rigorous: colleagues challenge and support one another. At Nevesbu, you’ll work on defense and offshore projects, ranging from new construction to the modernisation of existing vessels. We embrace complex challenges but avoid unnecessary complexity. Here, you’ll have the freedom to shape your role and make a real impact on projects that matter.
