Job Title: Project Operations Coordinator – Offshore Marine (Junior Mariner) Location: London or Southampton (Hybrid) The Opportunity Join a fast-growing offshore marine consultancy at a pivotal moment as they centralise and scale their project operations function. With a strong footprint in offshore wind and construction support (walk-to-work vessels, construction vessels, tankers and more), they are building a new Project Coordination team to underpin complex, high‑value projects across the offshore sector. This is a key hire: a junior mariner or engineer coming ashore to take ownership of day‑to‑day project operations, resource planning and vessel attendance coordination. You will be the operational “nerve centre” that keeps multiple offshore projects running smoothly, safely and profitably, up to a month ahead of execution. The Impact You Will Have • Own short- and medium-term project resource planning (c. 4 weeks ahead), ensuring the right surveyors/consultants are on the right vessel at the right time to minimise downtime and maximise billable utilisation., • Coordinate all project dependencies (people, vessels, schedules, associates) across a dynamic portfolio, directly supporting on-time, on-budget delivery for offshore wind and construction campaigns., • Act as a key operational link between Project Managers, offshore personnel and external associates, improving communication flow and reducing last‑minute changes and firefighting., • Help design and embed standardised processes for project documentation, procedures and resource management as part of a newly centralised coordination team., • Support and, over time, lead on arranging vessel inspections, surveys and on-site attendances, contributing to safe and efficient offshore operations. What Success Looks Like • Junior mariner (OOW / Chief Mate level) or marine engineer with seagoing experience, motivated to build a long-term shore-based career in offshore projects., • Demonstrable ability to plan ahead, manage moving parts and stay calm and decisive in a dynamic, weather‑impacted operational environment., • Commercially aware mindset: understands vessel schedules, project time pressures and the cost/impact of delays, and plans resources accordingly., • Highly organised, proactive communicator who naturally takes ownership of problems and sees them through to resolution across multiple stakeholders., • Ambitious “sponge” mentality: eager to learn project management, project financials and document control, and to grow into a broader project operations or PM role. What Is on Offer • Base salary in the region of £40,000–£45,000 (depending on experience) with clear scope to grow as you take on more responsibility., • A true platform role: hands-on exposure to project management, project financial management, resource planning and document control within a centralised, high‑impact team., • Hybrid working model around London or Southampton, with a mix of desk-based coordination and opportunities to get offshore for vessel inspections, surveys and on-site work., • Direct mentorship from seasoned project and marine professionals, giving you a structured pathway from junior coordinator into senior coordination or project management., • The chance to transition ashore without losing touch with “real” offshore operations, shaping the success of complex renewable and offshore construction projects. If you are a junior mariner or engineer ready to come ashore and build a high‑impact career in offshore projects, we are shortlisting now. Only a small number of candidates will be put forward, so if this aligns with your next move, get in touch immediately to be considered.
