The Junior Structural Analyst supports the engineering team in performing basic stress, load, and fatigue analyses for fabricated marine and offshore components. The role involves assisting with structural modeling, simulation setup, and documentation for verifying that fabricated structures meet strength and safety requirements under static and dynamic loading conditions.
Assist in conducting structural and stress analysis for fabricated components such as brackets, stiffeners, load-bearing frames, supports, and mounting assemblies.
Support modeling and simulation tasks using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) tools to assess deformation, stress concentration, and load distribution.
Help interpret material properties, load conditions, and boundary constraints based on design drawings and specifications.
Prepare basic hand calculations and sanity checks for bolted/welded joints, lifting points, and supports.
Participate in analyzing lifting, transportation, or in-service loading conditions for marine and offshore applications.
Contribute to fatigue life checks and structural verification for pressure or impact-loaded parts under guidance.
Assist in documenting analysis reports, calculation packages, and review checklists for submission to design and QA teams.
Interface with drafters, designers, and manufacturing teams to ensure analysis recommendations are implemented accurately.
Learn applicable codes and standards such as ABS, DNV-RP-C201, ASME, Eurocode, or client-specific criteria.
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil/Structural Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related field.
0–2 years of experience (internships or final-year project in structural analysis preferred).
Basic knowledge of mechanics of materials, structural behavior, and finite element concepts.
Familiarity with FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, SolidWorks Simulation, or Autodesk Nastran.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, weld details, and load diagrams.
Proficient in MS Excel and basic technical documentation.
Detail-oriented with strong math and analytical skills.
Exposure to structural design in marine, offshore, or heavy industrial fabrication environments.
Knowledge of material strength properties, weld symbols, and connection types.
Basic programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python or MATLAB) for automating calculations is a plus.
Primarily office-based with occasional site visits to shipyards or fabrication shops.
May require use of PPE during walkdowns or inspections.
Standard working hours, with some flexibility during design reviews or urgent analysis deadlines.
