Senior Research Engineer - Maritime Decarbonization

<p><strong><u>About the industry</u></strong></p><p> </p><p><span lang="EN-US">The maritime industry is undergoing a deep transformation to meet ambitious climate targets, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. At DNV, we are committed to supporting this transition by delivering trusted insights, technical expertise, and forward-looking research.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">As the industry explores a wide range of decarbonization strategies – such as alternative fuels (e.g., ammonia, methanol, LNG, hydrogen), hybrid and electric propulsion, energy efficiency technologies, and carbon capture – our team is at the forefront of developing models, tools, and insights that shape future regulations, operational practices, and DNV services. To reach a comprehensive impact, we work at the intersection of ship design, fuel lifecycle analysis, emissions modelling, and regulatory compliance.  </span></p><p> </p><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong><u>Are you ready to help shape the future of sustainable maritime transport?</u></strong></span></p><p> </p><p><span lang="EN-US">We are looking for a <strong>dedicated and curious researcher</strong> to join our <strong>Maritime Research Team</strong>, focusing on either:</span></p><ul><li>Modeling maritime emissions, or</li><li>Vessel efficiency.</li></ul><p><span lang="EN-US">This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of <strong>science-based solutions</strong> that support the industry’s shift toward cleaner, more efficient operations.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">You will be part of <strong>DNV’s Group Research and Development (GRD)</strong> at <strong>Høvik, Norway</strong>, working alongside a diverse team of experts exploring the future of maritime transport – from alternative fuels and propulsion technologies to digital tools and regulatory frameworks </span><span><span lang="EN-US">–</span></span><span lang="EN-US"> helping to guide both industry and policy toward sustainable outcomes.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">If you are passionate about maritime sustainability and want to make a real impact through applied research, we encourage you to apply.</span></p><p> </p><p><strong><u>Typical responsibilities:</u></strong></p><ul><li><span lang="EN-US">Engage in research projects to build knowledge, competence, and insights into the costs, benefits, and risks of future decarbonization technologies, alternative fuels, and their value chains.</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Develop standards, recommended practices, and associated tools for assessing emissions, fuel consumption, and vessel efficiency technologies.</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Publish forecasts, scientific papers, non-technical reports, and professional presentations.</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Initiate, design, and manage new research projects in partnership with academia and industry (e.g., EU, NFR, JIP).</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders to understand industry needs and pilot solutions.</span></li></ul> <ul><li><span lang="EN-US">A passionate, interdisciplinary team where you can make a real difference</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">The opportunity to work with a market-leading brand at the forefront of maritime research</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">A value-driven culture that prioritizes care for employees, customers, and society</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">An inspiring, international, and collaborative work environment</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Freedom to explore, innovate, and grow professionally</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Flexible working hours and six weeks of annual vacation</span></li><li>A competitive total compensation package</li></ul><p> </p><p>DNV is an Equal Opportunity Employer and gives consideration for employment to qualified applicants without regard to gender, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, cultural background, social group, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age or political opinion.
