Team Leader – Hull Structure Design

Department: Hull Structure Design

Reports To: CTO

Location: Kochi

The Team Leader – Hull Structure Design is responsible for planning, coordinating, and managing all structural design activities for multiple ship design projects—covering both basic and production engineering. The role involves guiding a team of structural engineers and designers, ensuring timely and quality delivery of structural drawings, 3D models, calculations, and documentation as per class and client requirements.

• Plan and allocate tasks to team members across multiple ongoing projects.
• Monitor progress and ensure delivery as per agreed schedules and quality standards.
• Conduct design reviews and ensure coordination with other disciplines (Hull Outfitting, Piping, Electrical, etc.).
• Ensure designs comply with class rules, statutory regulations, and project specifications.
• Interface with classification societies (DNV, LR, IRS, ABS, NK, etc.) and shipyards for technical clarifications.
• Lead development of hull structure design from concept to production stage.
• Review and approve scantling calculations, FEM analyses, weight estimates, and structural drawings.
• Mentor and develop engineers within the team; provide technical guidance and training.
• Conduct peer reviews and ensure implementation of standard design procedures and checklists.
• Ensure effective internal checking and QA/QC before submission and coordinate with PMO and document control.

• B.Tech / M.Tech in Naval Architecture or Structural Engineering.
• 12–15 years of experience in hull structural design (basic and/or production) for commercial or naval vessels.
• Understanding of the usage of structural design software (CADMATIC Hull, AVEVA Marine, NAPA, FEM tools).
• Strong understanding of classification rules and shipyard practices.
• Proven leadership, mentoring, and multitasking skills.
