## About the role

The Manufacturing Engineer – Structural Detail Planning defines how a vessel's structure is built, from individual parts and plates through subassemblies, units, blocks, grand blocks, and the complete erected hull. This role establishes the build strategy and detailed work instructions that govern structural fabrication and assembly, and ensures secondary structure and foundations are installed and welded at the correct stage of construction.

- Understanding of steel fabrication methods (cutting, forming, rolling, fit-up) and welding sequence
- Strong understanding of ship construction hierarchy from parts through erected hull, and how breakdown strategy is driven by facility and crane capacity
- Ability to read structural drawings, 3D models, midship sections, and shell expansions
- Strong written communication skills to produce clear, unambiguous work instructions
