Job Description:
The Crew Workspace Optimization Engineer in Dubai is tasked with analyzing, designing, and improving crew workspaces throughout a vessel to maximize operational efficiency, comfort, and safety. This includes spaces such as engine rooms, workshops, accommodation areas, galleys, and navigation stations, with the goal of enhancing workflow, reducing physical strain, and promoting safety.
Key responsibilities involve evaluating crew movement patterns, tool and equipment access, lighting, ventilation, noise levels, and spatial constraints. The engineer collaborates with naval architects, interior designers, and equipment suppliers to reorganize layouts, propose ergonomic improvements, and integrate modular storage and safety elements. They conduct risk assessments, simulation studies, and physical mock-up validations to ensure compliance with marine occupational health standards.
The role requires coordination with classification societies to meet ergonomic guidelines and ensure designs align with the vessel’s mission profile, such as offshore operations, naval patrol, or passenger transport.
Job Requirement:
A bachelor’s degree in marine engineering, ergonomics, or industrial engineering is required. 3–5 years of experience optimizing crew workspaces or industrial work environments, particularly in marine or offshore sectors, is essential. Proficiency in CAD and human-factor simulation software is required. Familiarity with maritime safety codes, classification standards (e.g., DNV’s “Ergonomics in Ship Design”), and crew welfare practices is necessary. Strong problem-solving, user-centered design approach, and experience in cross-functional coordination are critical.
