Submarines are some of the most complex manufactured assets in the world and as such provide interesting, challenging and rewarding work for the people that design, build and support them through life.

According to a 2021 Financial Times article "Nuclear-powered submarines are the "most complex machines that humans make, even more so than the space shuttle"[1] .

As a Naval Architect in our expanding Submarine Naval Architecture Team, you will have the opportunity to be involved in projects across the lifecycle of these submarine assets for both our UK and international customers.

As a member of the team, you will get involved in solving engineering challenges through supporting the Naval Architectural aspects of our projects.

The projects will range from supporting our UK and international customers in procuring new submarines that meet their needs to improving the safety and availability of UK submarines through the delivery of feasibility studies, technical engineering investigations and analyses, and design changes.

Surveys on submarines to support design changes;

• 3D modelling and naval architectural calculations to support concept design development and design changes;
• Structural analysis using both hand calculations and finite element analysis;
• Stability assessments using the Paramarine Naval Architecture software;
• Engineering assessments to support submarine life extensions; enhancing global understanding of submarine naval architecture issues, the development of future submarine design concepts as well as the development of new capabilities, tools and processes.

As a member of the Naval Architecture Capability, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to the delivery of projects across our full portfolio, such as surface ships, allowing you to broaden your experience outside of submarines should you wish to.

The role is based at our offices in Bath, UK and occasional travel may be required to customer sites both in the UK and overseas.

This role is available part-time, job-share or full time.

This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren't available full-time.

An HNC/HND/Foundation Degree or Bachelors/Masters degree or postgraduate qualification in Naval Architecture or similar subject;

• Practical and relevant experience of conventional or nuclear submarine Naval Architecture is preferred;
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills with experience of completing your work to time and quality through excellent organisational skills despite competing priorities;
