Structural Engineer for Port and Marine works

at  Ramboll

Job Description
Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Denmark
We invite you to bring your best marine and geotechnical knowledge into play, joining our dedicated team of port and marine engineers contributing to innovation and high-quality design solution. To succeed in this role, you must have experience in the design of marine constructions and soil-structure interaction.
If this sounds like you, or you’re curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our Ports, Marine and Coastal Engineering Department as our new Structural Marine Engineer and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

As our new Structural Marine and Geotechnical Engineer, you will be part of a diverse international department with over 40 engaged and technical strong marine and coastal engineers at Ramboll’s offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Aalborg, and work on both major international and domestic marine projects across all stages from planning to detailed design and supervision, together with our team of highly engaged and specialized engineers.
We are currently involved in several exiting ports and marine projects, were the interaction of structural design, geotechnical expertise and hydraulic knowledge is key. For example, in live expanding deign of several Danish ports, port extension of Rønne Port, new FSRU terminal in Gdansk and new Terminal in Nuuk. All projects where we are doing what we are great at, driving the technical excellence and supporting growth of the blue infrastructure and green energy transition.
Our department works with a broad spectrum of marine projects, from feasibility studies to detailed design and supervision. Our team is well balanced between senior experts, project managers, specialists and newly graduates. Knowledge sharing and open-minded collaboration across all levels within the department and across the organisation is part of our DNA and enables us to deliver innovative yet efficient solutions on a high-quality standard. Your future colleagues have extensive experience from both national and international port, marine, geotechnical and coastal projects. The multidisciplinary aspect of Ramboll and focus on innovation and sustainability, gives you a unique opportunity to work with experts from all fields, developing your skills further.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Detailed design of a wide variety of marine and geotechnical structures, such as quay walls, caissons, dikes, bollard foundations, mooring dolphins, foundations, retaining walls, rock revetments etc.
• Advanced modelling of geo-structural challenges, using FE-software such as PLAXIS and OPTUM to model complex soil-structure behaviour and deformation.
• Design of structural elements in steel and concrete both analytical and by using FE-modelling for more complex structures
• Detailed design from start to finish with high level of responsibility and “hands-on” optimisation processes where you are the key player
• Evaluation and dimensioning of port related equipment, i.e. fenders and bollards
• Life-time assessment of existing structures
• Occasional site supervision (also on projects you have designed)
• Coordination of drawing production
