The Engineer II performs engineering design review and analysis assignments, usually involving a significant 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, will develop a thorough understanding of policies, methods, and procedures. What You Will Do: • With minimal or no supervision, performs detailed engineering review of plans, as assigned, for compliance with applicable Rules, Regulations, and contract commitments. • Offers technical advice to field operations and other technical offices. • Performs work that involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as the resolution of conflicting design requirements, material standards or coordination of 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. • Interacts with clients to identify and resolve problems around technical expertise. • Prepares accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed. • Communicates the status of the current workload to all appropriate members of the team to ensure the needs of the clients will be met. • Works as a team member within the group but may work most of the time autonomously. • Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training. What You Will Need: Education and Experience • B.S. degree in Civil, Structural Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or other related disciplines. Masters / Ph.D. Graduates with no experience may be hired as Engineer II if degrees are specific to the position • The following are requirements for university graduates and experienced engineers from industry (either I or II) for Engineer II; • Education: • Hull backgrounds • B.S. degree in Civil, Structural Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or other related disciplines • Masters / PhD Graduates with no experience may be hired as Engineer II if degrees are specific to the position. • Demonstrated computer literacy in engineering software. • Exposed to Finite Element Method (course work or supervised research). • Machinery backgrounds • B.S. degree in Marine, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or other related disciplines. • Masters / PhD Graduates with no experience may be hired as Engineer II if degrees are specific to the position. • Experienced Engineer from Industry A or B: • Hull • Demonstrated computer literacy in engineering software. • Exposed to Finite Element Method (course work or supervised research). • Ten (10) years or more of related engineering experience in a shipyard, design/consulting office, shipping/oil company, or a classification society or • Professional or chartered engineer license and five (5) years or more of related engineering experience in a shipyard, design/consulting office, shipping/oil company, or a classification society or • Two (2) years as Engineer I. • Machinery • Ten (10) years or more of related engineering experience in a shipyard, design/consulting office, shipping/oil company, or a classification society or • Seagoing engineering license or professional/chartered engineer license and five (5) years or more of related engineering experience in a shipyard, design/consulting office, shipping/oil company, or a classification society or • Two (2) years as Engineer I. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities • Demonstrated understanding and ability to apply fundamental classification and quality concepts, practices, and procedures. • The ability to identify, analyze and propose solutions to problems (i.e., the competence to demonstrate complex problem-solving skills). • Good command of the English language with the ability to communicate orally and in writing. • Ability to work well with others. • Ability to obtain a working knowledge of the ABS Health, Safety, Quality, and Environmental Management Systems. It Would Be Nice If You Had Professional or chartered engineer license. Reporting Relationships: The incumbent reports to a senior level engineer or technical manager.
