CAD Designer - Water Infrastructure

Work environment 

Water engineering is one of the product lines of Tractebel, specialised in port engineering and waterway infrastructure. The technical competences within our team cover the complete range of marine infrastructure: quay walls, locks, jetties, dikes, port expansion etc. Our team designs projects from feasibility, over conceptual and detailed design through owner's engineering, in close collaboration with our national and international clients.

To tackle the exciting challenges that lie ahead, we will strengthen our team with a motivated CAD designer with a passion for marine structures.

  Mission 

• You carry out design work under supervision of the project leader;
• You are responsible for the implementation and execution of CAD modelling for our marine infrastructure projects;
• You assist the project engineer in dimensioning marine infrastructure projects following current Belgian and European standards, legislation, codes of practice and internal guidelines;
• Prepare designs (preliminary, basis, tender, detailed) for marine structures such as Ports & Waterways development studies: port master planning, locks, quay walls, jetties, bridge foundations, flooding areas, dikes, breakwaters and perform analyses to find the optimum installation method of these structures
• You set up and follow up developments in CAD systems 
• You follow the rules and regulations of planning permission drafting guidelines
• You keep up with standards, new techniques and developments in your discipline. You ensure knowledge development and sharing related to your expertise
