Internship - Ship Structural Analysis Engineer (F/M)

Optimization of load combinations for classification calculations

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 industry, 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.

Discover an internship at the heart of maritime expertise: Would you like to apply your skills in mechanics and structural analysis within a highly technical and international environment?

Join our Technical Directorate, within the Design Evaluation Department, and more specifically the Structure Team, based in Paris La Défense.

As part of ship classification, structural verification involves considering numerous Loading Conditions (LC) and Equivalent Design Waves (EDW), representing the vessel’s design loading scenarios and wave conditions.

The large number of LC+EDW combinations leads to a significant number of calculation cases to process.

The goal of this internship is to optimize this process by reducing the number of combinations required while maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the results.

Your main missions

This internship will focus on two main areas: data production and data analysis.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building a representative database of various ship types;
• Running 3D structural analyses (finite element and beam models) using internal tools such as VeriSTAR-Hull and STEEL;
• Determining stress fields for each ship and each LC+EDW combination;
• Analyzing the resulting dataset to identify:
• The most relevant combinations considering an acceptable error margin;
• The influential parameters enabling the definition of ship categories sharing similar critical combinations;
• Contributing to the improvement of regulatory procedures for structural model loading.

You will be integrated into a team of experts and collaborate with multiple technical entities in a stimulating and international environment.

Your strengths to succeed:

• You are in the final year of an engineering degree or equivalent, specializing in mechanics or finite element analysis;

• You have strong analytical and synthesis skills;
• Knowledge of Bureau Veritas classification rules would be an advantage;
• You have a good command of English, both written and spoken, in an international working context.
