Job Description

To strengthen our growing team, we are looking for a skilled and hands-on Project Manager – Naval Architecture to drive innovative marine engineering solutions from concept to production.

As Project Manager, you will act as the central link between design, engineering, classification societies, shipyards, and clients — ensuring that projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest technical standards. You will not only manage the project team; we are looking for someone who is hands-on and willing to contribute directly to design tasks using the (3D) programs when needed.

This is a full-time, permanent position that will be filled as soon as a suitable person is found.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage vessel design projects from early design stages to production delivery.
  • Manage project schedules, budgets, and resources across multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Liaise with shipyards, boatyards, suppliers, and clients to ensure smooth project execution.
  • Oversee class-level documentation and approvals (DNV, ISO or similar).
  • Provide leadership and guidance to junior naval architects and designers.
  • Contribute technically to naval architecture and marine engineering tasks:
    • Structural design and verification
    • Systems integration and layout
    • Stability and regulatory compliance
Requirements

  • Degree in Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Proven experience (5+ years) in project management within a design office, shipyard, or boatyard.
  • Strong technical expertise in:
    • Class-level design and statutory documentation
    • Structural engineering and scantlings
    • Marine systems design and integration
    • Design-to-production workflows
  • Experience working with classification societies and international standards.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills – knowing when to lead, when to listen and when to step up (or back).
  • Ability to work independently and lead cross-functional project teams.
  • Proficiency with CAD/3D design tools (e.g. Rhino, SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and familiarity with engineering analysis tools.
  • Professional proficiency in English; Finnish is an advantage but not required.

We offer

  • Versatile projects with a good amount of challenge.
  • Opportunity to develop multiple skills.
  • Interesting and innovative projects.
  • Young and ambitious team.
  • Inclusive and welcoming work community.
