Graduate Design Engineer

We are looking for a Graduate Design Engineer to join the ICR Engineering team, based in Aberdeen. 

The Graduate Design Engineer supports the assessment, design, documentation, and delivery of engineered composite repair solutions. This entry-level role is intended for engineers developing technical competence in composite repair design, pressure equipment integrity, and international repair standards including ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2.

The role involves working under supervision to review design data, prepare calculations, support engineering documentation, and assist with field and project delivery activities.

Graduates typically spend around two years at this level to build competence, through this is indicative rather than fixed. The timeframe depends on individual progress, capability development, and business requirements, after which graduates can continue developing their engineering design career within ICR.

The main tasks include, but are not limited to:

Subject to modification, the tasks and responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following:

• Perform composite repair designs for pipework, pressure vessels, tanks, and related equipment in accordance with ISO 24817, ASME PCC-2, internal procedures, and specific client requirements.
• Carry out engineering drawings using AutoCAD to supplement design calculations.
• Complete excel-based calculations in accordance with ISO 24817, ASME PCC-2, internal procedures, and client requirements.
• Review design information such as inspection reports photographs, isometrics, drawings, and site survey reports.
• Prepare draft engineering reports, repair summaries, sketches, material take-offs, and design input sheets.
• Support more experienced engineers in assessing piping and structural defects such as corrosion, erosion, wall loss, dents, gouges, and mechanical damage.
• Support more experienced engineers in assessing piping and structural defects such as corrosion, erosion, wall loss, dents, gouges, and mechanical damage.
• Support operations for all aspects of products and on-goings repair applications. This technical support will involve in some cases involve interaction, discussion with the client.
• Support sales for all aspects of Technowrap products and technical enquiries, this will involve engagement with the client where necessary.
• Assist with the preparation of repair method statements, installation guidance, inspection requirements, and quality documentation.
• Develop understanding of pressure equipment, composite materials, laminate design, bonding, surface preparation, curing, and repair qualification.
• Participate in project meetings, technical reviews, and internal engineering discussions.
• Support onsite technicians with design related queries where necessary.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and comply with internal quality, safety, and document control requirements.
• Support out-of-hours engineering activities through participation in the on-call support rota, where required and deemed competent enough to do so.

Key Responsibilities:

At this level, the Graduate Design Engineer is expected to:

• Learn company design methods.
• Understand design inputs.
• Complete basic calculations.
• Produce accurate work under supervision.
