Internship - Fatigue Analysis Engineer, Offshore Units (F/M)

Topic: Assessing a new fatigue analysis approach for offshore equipment

Join a global leader in maritime classification and certification.

Your career is about more than building a CV – it's a chance to LeaveYourMark.

Joining Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore means becoming part of a world-leading organization in maritime classification and certification.

For nearly two centuries, we have been supporting innovation and transformation across the maritime sector, ensuring the safety, performance, and sustainability of ships and offshore infrastructures worldwide.

Our mission? To contribute to a safer and more sustainable maritime world, by providing our technical expertise and commitment to our clients and partners.

Would you like to apply your structural analysis skills to a topic that could change how offshore units

are assessed?

Join the Structure team, based in La Défense (Paris area, France). The team verifies the structural compliance of ships and offshore units as part of their classification.

Context: for several years, Bureau Veritas has required fatigue analyses for offshore equipment, based on a regulatory approach established in the 2000s. In our exchanges with designers, we increasingly see the limits of this approach and the emergence of new methods. One of them looks technically promising.

Your goal? Analyze and apply it in-house to determine whether it can be used for classification.

Your main missions

Supported by the team's engineers, you will:

• Carry out a comprehensive literature review of research papers related to this approach;
• Apply the method to several offshore equipment items from recent projects and identify implementation challenges;
• Compare the results with those of the current regulatory approach;
• Write a step-by-step application guideline for the method;
• Develop preliminary tools to support its application.

You will work with our digital tools VeriStar Hull and Femap. Your results will feed a discussion with the rules development team on updating the current approach.

Your strengths to succeed

• Final-year engineering student;
• Solid knowledge of mechanics and finite element analysis;
• Rigor and strong analytical and synthesis skills;
• Good command of English, both written and spoken, to communicate with our international network.
