Structural Engineers

Floating Offshore Structures is the main unit in DNV for structural design approval of mobile offshore units
(MOUs), typically;
- ship-shaped units (production, storage and offloading, well intervention and drilling)
- semi-submersibles
- jack-ups

The section is also responsible for structural approval of self-elevating wind turbine installation units.
The above activities are mainly related to newbuildings but also cover conversions and modifications of existing units.

Due to an increasing demand for our services we want to supplement our team with new colleagues, both experienced engineers and newly graduated or candidates that will graduate in the near future.

In our unit you will get the opportunity to work with challenging projects from the world's leading designers of MOU's, and have an impact on the safety evaluation of existing and tomorrow's MOUs.

Being an approval engineer involves close interaction with owners, yards and designers from the early idea of a new concept until the unit is leaving a shipyard ready for a long life at sea. Working in DNV, you will have a role in actively supporting other colleagues, stations and projects in the wider, global DNV network, which will give you the opportunity to be exposed to a broad range of technological challenges and knowledge.
