Job description

Doris Group UK are looking for a Junior Structural Engineer. As a leader in Engineering, advisory and project management for energy, the mission is to make conventional energies cleaner and make renewable and new energies possible. As a Junior Structural Engineer, you’ll support the design and analysis of offshore structures across a variety of energy projects.

With a strong focus on safety, quality, and innovation, we work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams to deliver reliable and efficient power and control systems. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team shaping the future of energy systems, particularly within the renewable and offshore wind space.

What you'll do

• Assist in the design of offshore structures for renewable and conventional energy projects
• Apply modern analysis and design methodologies to real-world engineering challenges
• Support the development of environmental loads (wind, wave, marine conditions) from source data
• Contribute to in-service assessments such as fatigue, seismic, boat impact, and in-place analysis
• Assist with pre-service assessments including transportation and lifting studies
• Develop an understanding of installation methods and fabrication processes
• Carry out finite element analysis using industry-standard software (e.g. SESAM, SACS, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS, ABAQUS)
• Support the preparation of engineering models, calculations, and technical reports
• Participate in technical discussions and project meetings
• Collaborate within multidisciplinary teams to deliver projects on time and within budget
• Ensure work is performed in line with internal procedures and industry standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement, including automation of tasks through programming where possible

What you'll bring

We’re looking for a motivated and curious engineer with a passion for offshore structures and problem-solving. You’ll ideally have:

• A degree (BEng, MSc, or PhD) in Civil, Structural, or a related engineering discipline
• A strong interest in offshore engineering, marine environments, and renewable energy
• An analytical mindset with the ability to break down complex problems and develop solutions
• Eagerness to learn new tools, technologies, and finite element analysis methods
• Some familiarity (or willingness to learn) structural analysis software such as SESAM, SACS, STAAD.Pro, ANSYS, or ABAQUS
• Awareness of offshore design standards, regulations, and industry practices (desirable)
• Basic programming or automation skills (e.g. Python) are advantageous
• Good understanding of physics as applied to structural and marine environments

Soft skills and behaviours:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Detail-oriented while maintaining awareness of the bigger picture
• Positive, collaborative team player
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently when required
• Results-driven with the ability to meet deadlines
• Open-minded, with confidence to express and defend engineering judgement
• Strong IT literacy and commercial awareness

Why join us?

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on high-impact, forward-looking energy projects while developing your expertise in a collaborative, hybrid working environment. You’ll be part of a passionate team contributing to cleaner energy solutions and safer industrial operations.
