You will have a strong sense of ownership, enjoy making things better and want to grow your responsibility as RAD grows. • Company pension, • A broad role with real ownership and direct exposure to the leadership team, • The opportunity to grow with an ambitious marine technology business, • The chance to work on technology shaping the future of autonomy and electrification at sea #J-18808-Ljbffr
