About the Role

Trainee Naval Architect

This position is ideal for candidates who are conceptually strong in hydrostatics, stability, ship structures, and hydrodynamics, and who wish to gain hands-on exposure to engineering projects involving offshore vessels, floating platforms, and marine systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist senior naval architects and engineers in the design and analysis of ships, barges, floating structures, and offshore modules.
• Perform hydrostatic, stability, and intact/damage stability assessments for marine vessels and floating systems.
• Support in the preparation of 3D hull models, compartmentation plans, and structural layouts.
• Contribute to hydrodynamic studies, motion analysis, and load case development for offshore transport and installation operations.
• Assist in structural design and verification of hull structures as per DNV, ABS, or equivalent rules.
• Participate in drawing preparation—including general arrangements, midship sections, and structural plans.
• Collaborate with the mechanical, structural, and operations teams for integration of marine systems (cranes, gangways, winches, and lifting equipment).
• Support documentation, report preparation, and class submission workflows.

Skills & Competencies

• Sound theoretical understanding of naval architecture fundamentals: hydrostatics, stability, ship structures, and resistance–propulsion.
• Familiarity with marine design software (AutoHydro, Rhino, Maxsurf, or equivalent) is desirable.
• Basic knowledge of structural rules and standards (DNV, ABS, BV, ISO).
• Analytical and mathematical aptitude.
• Basic exposure to 3D CAD (Inventor, Rhino, or AutoCAD).
• Attention to detail, communication skills, and technical curiosity.

Qualifications

• B.Tech / M.Tech in Naval Architecture or Ocean Engineering (recent graduates preferred).
• Internship or academic project experience related to ship design, structural analysis, or hydrodynamics is an advantage.

Why Join Fusie Engineers

• Work on global-level offshore and marine projects from day one.
• Learn from experienced professionals across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Gain hands-on exposure to real project data, class standards, and design reviews.
• Opportunity for full-time placement as Naval Architect / Marine Engineer upon successful completion of traineeship.
