  • Provide hands-on guidance in a heavy industry environment, ensuring practical implementation of fatigue analysis results.
• Material Characterization:
  • Understand material testing results to obtain fatigue properties of metals and alloys.
  • Analyze microstructural features that influence fatigue behavior.
• Failure Analysis & Repairs:
  • Investigate fatigue failures in metallic components to determine root causes.
  • Provide recommendations for repairs, design modifications and material selection to mitigate fatigue issues.
• Design and Optimization:
  • Collaborate with design engineers to incorporate fatigue-resistant features into new elements.
  • Optimize existing designs to improve fatigue performance and extend service life.
• Standards and Compliance:
  • Ensure that all fatigue analyses comply with relevant industry standards and regulations, with a strong emphasis on the Eurocode.
  • Maintain a strong knowledge of metallic structure repairs according to EN1090.
  • Stay current with advancements in fatigue analysis methodologies and incorporate best practices.
• Documentation and Reporting:
  • Prepare detailed technical reports and documentation of fatigue analysis results.
  • Present findings to stakeholders, including engineers, managers, and clients.

Must haves:

• Educational Background:
  • Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field (PhD preferred).
• Experience:
  • Proven track record of successful fatigue life predictions and failure analyses.
  • Strong knowledge and application of the Eurocode in fatigue calculations.
  • Strong knowledge of metallic structure repairs according to EN1090.
• Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA) software (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN).
  • Strong understanding of material science and fatigue mechanisms.
  • Experience with experimental techniques for fatigue testing (e.g., strain gauging, crack growth monitoring).
• Analytical Skills:
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
  • Ability to interpret complex data and develop accurate models.
• Field Work and Communication Skills:
  • Willingness to engage in hands-on fieldwork in a heavy industry environment.
