Mechanical Designer
We owe our position as world player to our technically innovative knowhow and the most modern dredging fleet in the world. Jan De Nul Group continues to invest in its fleet and in its people. The Marine Design and Engineering department is involved from the preliminary design of the vessels onwards. Each project is different and an optimum configuration is created every time. And if it doesn’t exist, we make it ourselves!

Your main tasks and responsibilities include:
- Designing preliminary concepts.
- Consulting with internal departments to determine design constraints.
- Drawing up designs of components and steel structures for ships and offshore structures in 2D & 3D from initial design to production drawings.
- Supporting the ship construction department in getting the preliminary design for new build vessels on paper.
- Preparing the technical design package for logistics, maintenance and production.
- Implementing design modifications and improvements, keeping the design data up to date.
