How to Apply for Lead Structural Engineer - Marine Concrete Design
at RCAM Technologies
🏢 About RCAM Technologies
RCAM Technologies is pioneering automated 3D concrete printing specifically for renewable energy infrastructure, making them unique in combining advanced manufacturing with sustainability goals. Their focus on affordable marine energy solutions and job creation offers engineers a chance to work on cutting-edge technology with tangible environmental impact.
About This Role
This role leads structural design for marine concrete structures, including innovative 3D printed systems for renewable energy projects. You'll bridge conceptual R&D with practical project deliverables, making you central to transforming novel concepts into functional offshore infrastructure.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves structural analysis of 3D printed concrete designs using FEM tools, developing detailed drawings for marine energy components, and collaborating with R&D teams on material testing. You'll also coordinate with remote project teams on specifications and review progress against marine construction timelines.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who RCAM Technologies Is Looking For
- Has 7+ years specifically with reinforced concrete in marine/coastal environments, not just general structural experience
- Combines practical Eurocode/DNV standards expertise with interest in novel 3D printing methods for concrete
- Is chartered (CEng) or actively pursuing chartership with UK recognition
- Can apply FEM tools like ABAQUS to both traditional marine structures and experimental printed designs
📝 Tips for Applying to RCAM Technologies
Highlight specific marine concrete projects in your portfolio, quantifying your role in design phases from concept to detailed drawings
Explicitly mention experience with both Eurocode standards AND any exposure to 3D printing/additive manufacturing in construction
Tailor your resume to show how your structural analysis skills (SAP2000/ABAQUS) have solved marine durability or load challenges
Demonstrate understanding of RCAM's renewable energy focus by linking past work to sustainability outcomes
If remote UK-based, emphasize experience with distributed teams and self-directed project management
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
['Your hands-on experience with marine concrete durability challenges and relevant codes (Eurocode, DNV)', "How you've contributed to innovative construction methods or R&D projects previously", 'Specific interest in 3D printing for infrastructure and renewable energy applications', 'Examples of leading structural design phases while coordinating with clients and project teams']
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → RCAM's specific renewable energy projects (wave, tidal, or offshore wind infrastructure)
- → Their 3D printing technology and any published case studies or patents
- → UK marine energy sector challenges and opportunities
- → Recent innovations in marine concrete durability and sustainable materials
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Presenting only building/stadium experience without clear marine or coastal concrete examples
- Generic application showing no research into RCAM's 3D printing technology or renewable energy focus
- Failing to demonstrate how your skills bridge traditional marine engineering with innovative construction methods
