Insight Global is looking to bring on a Senior Naval Architect to provide engineering support for the analysis, assessment, and repair of submarine steel structures and hull systems within a waterfront engineering setting. This role is well suited to a naval architect with significant marine project experience and a strong background in structural surveying, ship repair, and refit activities. Unlike new-build projects, submarine refit work often involves existing and degraded structures, incomplete information, and conditions that require sound engineering judgment and the ability to interpret complex or uncertain situations. The successful candidate will develop practical, technically sound repair solutions while working closely with engineering, production, quality, project management, customers, and contractors.
Key Responsibilities Perform engineering assessments of existing submarine structures, reviewing structural and paint surveys, NDT reports, inspection findings, and technical queries to determine appropriate repair solutions and provide technical recommendations.
Develop and oversee structural repair specifications, including engineering calculations, technical drawings, repair methodologies, deviations, waivers, and technical documentation for submarine maintenance and refit periods.
Apply naval architectural principles and engineering judgment to assess degraded, damaged, or modified structures,



developing practical solutions where conditions differ from original design assumptions or available documentation.
Generate and review structural work packages and contract documentation, and provide engineering direction and support during fabrication, installation, build-up, testing, and commissioning of submarine structural systems.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE An engineering degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering from an accredited post-secondary institution
4 years of structural or marine engineering experience
A comprehensive understanding of marine structures and their design or maintenance requirements;
A demonstrated capability to oversee the development of complex technical solutions for the repair of steel structures
Knowledge of surveying, structural repairs, worked on significant marine projects
NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE Experience working on refit projects, not just new build projects but refit projects
Compensation: $65/hr to $87/hr
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
We may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with the screening, assessment, or selection of potential applicants for this position.
Vacancy: This posting is for a currently vacant role, and the successful candidate will be hired into an existing open position.
