With their complementary services and track records, C-Job and American naval architectural company Glosten are teaming up to create optimised maritime design solutions for some specialist sectors.

Andrey Zherebetsky, Managing Director of C-Job Nikolayev, talks about how to rapidly build and manage a successful team of naval architects and maritime engineers for a multinational client base.

Needing more space for its growing team and the wish for a more maritime character, the C-Job Rotterdam office is moving to a new location early next year. General Manager Maarten Veldhuizen explains further.

C-Job Naval Architects’ Data Scientist Roy de Winter has been nominated for the 2018 Maritime Designer Award. This is for his work on ‘Accelerated Concept Design’ – a design optimisation method that enables quick design iterations and exciting options while saving a significant amount of time.

Simeon Tienpont was skipper for team AkzoNobel in the 2017/18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. Looking back at some of the highs and lows of the race, Simeon shares his insights into team selection and how developments in high performance sailing filter down to the naval architecture sector.

Padmos Shipyard is winning more and more new build contracts. To meet the need for increased engineering and naval architectural capacity, they contacted C-Job Naval Architects for support. “Our aim is to build the most energy efficient fishing vessels possible – this is a co-operative process with C-Job,” says Walter van Harberden, Project Manager at Padmos.

“At our new offices we have space for up to 50 people. This matches our ambitions for expansion.” Jelle Grijpstra is talking about C-Job’s motivations to relocate its Joure office to Heerenveen. And, in anticipation of sustained future growth, the company has made some important organisational and management changes too.
