Offshore Vessel Dynamics Specialist
Responsible for analyzing and optimizing the motion, stability, and hydrodynamic performance of vessels used in wind farm construction, maintenance, and logistics. They assess vessel behavior in various sea conditions, ensuring safe operations during turbine installation, heavy-lift operations, and crew transfers. This role involves using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, conducting sea trials, and developing motion control strategies to improve vessel efficiency and safety. Their expertise is essential in minimizing downtime, optimizing vessel design, and ensuring offshore wind operations are conducted smoothly.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, Ocean Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of vessel stability, hydrodynamics, and motion prediction.
• Proficiency in software such as OrcaFlex, ANSYS AQWA, STAR-CCM+, or MATLAB for vessel dynamics analysis.
Additional Requirements:
• Experience with DP (Dynamic Positioning) systems, mooring analysis, and offshore vessel operations.
• Familiarity with offshore safety regulations and industry standards (e.g., IMO, DNV, ABS).
• Offshore safety certifications (e.g., GWO Basic Safety Training, STCW certification) may be required.
• Ability to work offshore and collaborate with engineers, vessel operators, and logistics teams to enhance operational efficiency.
