An engineering consultancy has a highly specialised maritime position open for someone with their sights set beyond our shores.

Part of an American group with more than 30,000 staff and projects in 60 countries, Maunsell AECOM has been involved in building piers, ports, coastal structures, tunnels and bridges in Hong Kong for 32 years.

With construction booming, Maunsell Consultants Asia, the flagship of Maunsell AECOM in Hong Kong, is in need of a senior maritime engineer with at least 10 years of experience to work in its design office. Not to be confused with a marine engineer who deals with the electrical and mechanical workings of a ship, the maritime engineer will lead feasibility studies, design and documentation for port and coastal infrastructure or structures.

'Senior maritime engineers are the guys who supervise engineers doing calculations and running computer models to analyse coastal structures and also serve as the lead for documentation,' said Michael Lai Ki-cheong, executive director of Maunsell Consultants Asia.

Projects may also include the design of container terminals and cruise terminals.

'We're even in the process of coming up with maritime design for the cruise ship terminal in Kai Tak,' said Mr Lai, adding breakwaters, marinas, fuel jetties, and seawalls to the list of projects this person may be involved with.
