The Mid-Level Marine Fabrication Engineer plays a key role in the planning, coordination, and execution of structural and piping fabrication tasks for marine vessels and offshore platforms. This position is responsible for translating engineering designs into fabrication-ready documentation, resolving shop floor issues, and ensuring compliance with classification standards and fabrication best practices.
Develop and review fabrication drawings for structural elements (e.g., hull blocks, decks, bulkheads) and marine piping systems (fuel, ballast, cooling, bilge, etc.).
Generate material take-offs, cutting lists, weld maps, and pipe spool drawings for production use.
Coordinate with design, planning, and production teams to ensure smooth handover of engineering packages and work instructions.
Support field engineering and respond to technical queries (TQ/RFI) from the shop floor and subcontractors.
Perform fit-up checks, alignment validations, and clash detection using 3D models and layout drawings.
Assist in the development and review of welding procedures (WPS/PQR) and installation methods.
Ensure adherence to standards such as ABS, DNV, ASME B31.3, AWS D1.1, and other client or regulatory specifications.
Conduct technical evaluations of fabrication non-conformances, support root cause analysis, and implement corrective measures.
Participate in factory acceptance tests (FATs), hydrostatic/pressure testing, and inspections of fabricated systems.
Provide technical input to planning, procurement, QA/QC, and commissioning teams throughout the fabrication lifecycle.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or Naval Architecture.
3–6 years of relevant experience in marine or offshore fabrication engineering.
Proficient in CAD and 3D modeling software (AutoCAD, ShipConstructor, AVEVA, SolidWorks, etc.).
Sound knowledge of structural fabrication, pipe routing, material selection, and marine system integration.
Familiarity with weld symbols, shop practices, pressure testing, and piping system functionality.
Ability to interpret and generate general arrangement (GA), P&ID, isometric, and structural drawings.
Strong communication skills and the ability to coordinate between technical and production teams.
Exposure to shipyard operations or offshore EPC environments.
Understanding of modular construction and pre-outfitting strategies.
Training in QA/QC systems, welding inspection, or dimensional control.
Working knowledge of ERP systems and fabrication tracking software.
Combination of office and fabrication/shipyard environment.
Must be able to conduct site visits and inspections with PPE as required.
May involve extended working hours during peak project phases or testing windows.
