Certain Advantage is partnering with a key client to recruit a Stress Engineer. You’ll be responsible for delivering structural and stress analysis packages for a wide range of marine mechanical and hybrid structures.

What will you be doing?

  • Assess structural integrity by accounting for environmental loads, material degradation, and ageing mechanisms.

  • Develop hand calculations, analytical models, and supporting technical evidence.

  • Lead end-to-end analysis packages, from initial scoping through to final delivery and presentation.

  • Provide practical, safety-focused recommendations, including design modifications where required.

  • Maintain accurate, high-quality documentation, including drawings and analysis records.

  • Collaborate with clients and multidisciplinary teams to define requirements and communicate findings effectively.


A couple of things you should know:
  • Experience in structural or stress analysis within maritime, defence, industrial, or other regulated sectors.

  • Strong understanding of mechanical structures, load paths, and material behaviour.

  • Ability to evaluate ageing or degraded structures and apply sound engineering judgement in the presence of incomplete data.

  • Proficient in structural hand calculations, analytical methods, and finite element analysis (FEA) tools.

  • Effective communicator, confident in presenting technical information to clients and stakeholders.


During an interview, you may be asked about:
  • Your experience in Defence, Marine, or safety-critical environments.

  • Your familiarity with marine degradation mechanisms such as corrosion, fatigue and long-term material behaviour.
