Senior Naval Architect

H2NA is a well established and highly respected Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Consultancy. We have trusted
relationships with a wide range of customers that provide a steady and diverse range of tasks for our reputable team of
senior engineers. Demand for our services is consistently strong and forecast to grow in the future. We therefore wish to
invite applications from suitably qualified individuals for this position.

What can we offer you:
As a Senior Naval Architect working at H2NA you will work on tasks ranging from Warship concept designs to pilot boat
stability, and everything in between. We have both Defence and Commercial Clients for whom we carry out a range of tasks.
One week you could be carrying out an Inclining Experiment on a crane barge, the next writing a SIB for a hopper dredger.
Applying your knowledge to such a wide range of vessels and tasks is what makes working at H2NA so interesting and
exciting.

H2NA strives to work collaboratively in everything we do with the opinions, priorities, strengths and workload of all
employees being considered at every opportunity. We will be the first to acknowledge bias but strongly believe we provide
the best work life balance possible for our employees whilst striving to deliver class leading deliverables to all our customers.
The position will be based in the Bristol area, although visits to ships will be required.

What skills we expect from you:
Essential
• Chartered Engineer – Ideally for at least 5 years although less may be considered for the right candidate;
• Professional Body – Ideally a Member of RINA although another body or membership class will be considered;
• Recent experience working with naval ship pre-concept or concept design studies;

• Knowledge of naval, Class & Flag regulations;

• Good working knowledge of AutoCAD, Microsoft Office and a Naval Architecture software (i.e. MaxSurf or Paramarine);
• Team player possessing the ability to work with minimal supervision;
