Consortio is proud to be working in partnership with a specialised organisation within the naval design and engineering sector, recognised for its commitment to creativity, precision, and technical innovation across a diverse range of commercial and leisure vessels. This collaboration reflects a shared dedication to delivering high-quality design solutions that elevate vessel performance, safety, and overall functionality. Together, we are seeking to attract an experienced professional to join a team that embodies collaboration, ingenuity, and engineering excellence.

As part of this partnership, we are seeking a Naval Architect to contribute to the development, optimisation, and validation of vessel designs across multiple project phases. The successful candidate will be involved in hull form development, structural engineering, stability assessments, rule compliance, simulation-based performance analysis, and real-world testing activities. This role offers the opportunity to work within an agile and multidisciplinary environment where problem-solving and innovation are integral to every project.

This position requires a strong technical foundation in naval architecture, hands-on experience with vessel design, and a proactive, solution-driven mindset.
