Structural Engineer

Do you have experience with design, FEM calculations and drafting for operational marine projects? And do you want to develop to a Lead Engineer position in the next 1 or 2 years? Then this could be the opportunity you are looking for!

Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam is currently looking for a structural engineer who wants to develop to a lead engineer position in the upcoming years.
