     Applying your structural engineering expertise will be at the core of your day-to-day work. You will be involved in the design and delivery of maritime and hydraulic structures, including:

• structural design of quay walls, jetties, and mooring facilities
• design of river and hydraulic structures such as embankments, weirs, and locks
• development of concept and detailed designs for port and waterway infrastructure
• preparation of design calculations, technical specifications, and engineering reports
• assessment and rehabilitation design of existing maritime structures
• coordination with multidisciplinary teams across hydraulic, geotechnical, nautical, and mechanical disciplines
• contribution to practical, safe, and buildable engineering solutions aligned with project requirements
• support in delivering projects on time and within budget

     At Haskoning, we support your development as a maritime structural engineer through hands-on project experience, collaboration with international experts, and continuous learning opportunities to help you further strengthen your technical and professional capabilities.
