Engineer I (Hull or Machinery)

The Engineer designs, reviews, and analyzes assignments normally involving a major project or several smaller or less complex projects. These projects, by nature of their complexity and difficulty, require the fully competent application of conventional knowledge in a particular field of engineering or science. Through broader and more technically challenging work assignments, and will develop a thorough understanding of policies, methods, and procedures.

What You Will Do:

• Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager, performs detailed engineering review of plans as assigned for compliance with applicable Rules, Regulations, and contract commitments.
• Proposes technical advice to field operations and other technical offices.
• Performs work that involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as resolving conflicting design requirements, material standards, or coordinating activities among other disciplines.
• Proposes new approaches to problems encountered and makes recommendations for changes in methods, procedures, or designs.
• Drafts technically accurate and timely reports, and responses to letters, faxes, and other forms of communication.
• Works directly with clients to identify and resolve problems in the area of technical expertise.
• Communicates the status of the current workloads status to all appropriate team members to ensure the clients needs will be met.
