We are looking for a Naval Designer specialised in the 3 D modelling and design of ship structures and outfitting systems using FORAN and/or Siemens NX , within long-term naval projects in a multidisciplinary engineering environment. The role combines technical knowledge of naval architecture and shipbuilding with 3 D modelling and the generation of production documentation directly from the model.

Main Responsibilities

Naval modelling in FORAN / Siemens NX: - Hull structure (plates, profiles, bulkheads, decks, foundations). - Piping systems and fluid networks. - HVAC systems and ducting. - Electrical routing, cable trays and equipment. - Machinery and equipment arrangement. - Supports, penetrations and outfitting accessories.

Modelling, information and deliverables:

- Development of coordinated 3 D models aligned with the rest of the disciplines.

- Routing and layout of systems according to design criteria, space constraints and safety requirements.

- Generation of deliverables directly from the model (general arrangement, construction and production drawings, isometrics and details).

- Extraction of bills of materials and production information.

- Application of project standards, templates, catalogues and naming conventions.

- Update of models and documentation following engineering changes.





Coordination and quality: - Coordination with other disciplines (structure, machinery, piping, HVAC, electrical) and participation in clash detection reviews. - Geometric and information-level model quality control according to project and classification society requirements.

Requirements

- Minimum 3 years of experience in naval design.

- FORAN and/or Siemens NX as primary modelling tool (mandatory).

- Degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent, or Higher Technician in design/drafting.

- Experience in the modelling of ship structures and/or outfitting systems.

- Experience in generating construction and production documentation from the model.

- Knowledge of shipbuilding processes and ship design criteria.

- Experience in multidisciplinary coordination and clash detection.

Preferred

Experience: - Projects in shipyards or naval engineering firms (defence, offshore, merchant vessels). - Knowledge of classification society rules (DNV, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ABS). - Experience with Teamcenter or other PLM environments. - English level B2.

Location

Madrid or Bilbao Project Duration Long-term, high dedication and continuity.
