  • Contributing ideas and creative solutions for a variety of structural problems through direct calculations and application of LR’s Rules and Regulations & other international standards and codes.
  • Providing technical advice to internal and external clients globally, which will include designers, shipyards and other LR surveyors and specialists.
  • Contributing to Technology and Rule Development Projects and Proposals to ensure our Rules remain up to date and in line with the latest industry innovations.
  • Assisting the team leader and other senior team members in the bid and win process for new projects by accurately estimating time requirements.
  • Managing plan approval projects including monitoring of project progress and spend against budget and contractual requirements.
  • Actively seeking to ensure client satisfaction and to generate new opportunities with our clients.
  • The above description does not preclude the assignment of other duties by the Specialised Ship Structures team lead or their line manager.
