Shipbuilding Field Engineering
that protects schedule & class
I work with shipyards and engineering offices when stakes are high: tight timelines, complex interfaces, and class-sensitive decisions. I translate constraints into executable actions — and deliver outcomes that production teams can build and inspectors can accept.
Positioning
Not a CV page. A reputation page. Designed to communicate how I work, what I protect, and why teams trust me with critical decisions.
Decision-maker clarity
Options with tradeoffs — time, risk, cost, and acceptance criteria.
Production-ready engineering
Solutions that welders and supervisors can execute immediately.
Class-safe outcomes
Traceable, compliant, inspection-ready documentation and execution.
Who I work with
Teams that need fast, confident technical direction during construction, modification, or delivery.
Shipyards
When execution needs decisions that hold in production and at inspection.
Engineering Offices
When design must be aligned with yard constraints, sequence, and approvals.
Owners / PM Teams
When schedule, quality, and acceptance must stay under control.
Services
High-impact support in the moments projects usually slip: interfaces, changes, and quality gates.
On-site Field Engineering
Rapid technical resolution, coordination with production, and clear action plans.
- Construction problem solving Root cause → fix → prevention
- Workshop coordination Shift-ready instructions
- Change & interface management Control scope and risk
Hull & Welding Engineering
Engineering decisions that translate cleanly into fabrication and acceptance.
- Hull design support (2D/3D) AVEVA Marine / Cadmatic Hull
- Welding compliance support Procedure + QC alignment
- Drawing review & optimization Reduce rework & delays
Signature Approach
A disciplined workflow that converts technical ambiguity into controlled execution — with documentation that stays strong under class review.
1) Diagnose
Confirm constraints, tolerances, and class impact before proposing solutions.
2) Decide
Present options and tradeoffs, then lock the acceptance path.
3) Deliver
Turn the decision into drawings, instructions, and checkable outcomes.
Selected Outcomes
Representative situations where structured technical intervention protected schedule, quality, and class compliance.
Rework Reduction in Hull Assembly
Identified misalignment risk during block integration and implemented corrective detailing with workshop guidance — preventing repeated welding cycles and schedule loss.
Interface Conflict Resolution
Resolved structural–outfitting clashes affecting installation sequence by coordinating design adjustments and a clear execution plan.
Accelerated Class Approval
Structured welding compliance documentation aligned with class expectations, reducing review iterations and shortening approval cycle.
Production Drawing Optimization
Improved fabrication clarity by aligning drawings to workshop constraints, simplifying steps and reducing ambiguity for production teams.
Schedule Protection Under Pressure
Delivered rapid, defensible technical decisions during critical stages while balancing structural integrity, compliance, and time constraints.
Cross-Team Technical Alignment
Coordinated engineering, production, and QC to unify technical direction and ensure measurable execution control.
Engagement Models
Choose the format that fits your timeline. Every engagement ends with a clear, documented outcome.
Rapid Assessment
Short, focused review and a written technical recommendation with next steps.
On-site Intervention
Field engineering presence to resolve issues, coordinate execution, and protect schedule.
Project Support
Ongoing collaboration during construction phases to prevent rework and manage interfaces.
