About The Position

Fleetway is looking for Mechanical Designers to join our team! In this role, you will be a key contributor to our marine design and integration projects, focusing on advanced mechanical system modelling for naval and commercial vessels. We are primarily seeking Intermediate and Senior technologists who bring strong technical depth, sound judgement, and experience working across disciplines. We also welcome early‑career candidates with hands‑on proficiency in ShipConstructor and a solid understanding of marine systems. In this role, you will use ShipConstructor daily to develop and interpret detailed 3D models of piping and HVAC systems, verify model accuracy, and help identify and resolve integration issues.
