Key Responsibilities • Project manage and deliver high-quality marine consultancy services, • Coordinate project work and vessel attendances for marine assurance activities, • Take responsibility for the financial performance of UK mariner-based projects, • Provide technical leadership and advice to clients and colleagues, • Deliver marine assurance, vessel inspection, advisory and consultancy projects, • Maintain and develop a pool of independent mariners in line with competence and capacity requirements, • Assess the experience and competence of potential candidates to ensure high-quality service delivery, • Contribute to the development of new services and initiatives to improve capability and competitiveness, • Support internal training and knowledge sharing, • Undertake business development activities, including:, • Identifying new opportunities, • Building and maintaining client and stakeholder relationships, • Preparing marketing materials and tender submissions, • Support external profile-raising activities, including social media, articles and industry presentations, • Seek and record client feedback and identify opportunities for safety improvements Skills, Knowledge and Experience • Certified Master Mariner (Unlimited STCW II/2 CoC), • Sea-going experience as Master or Chief Officer in offshore oil, gas and/or renewable energy sectors, • Experience in one or more of the following:, • Rigid pipelay, • Flexible lay, • Heavy lift, • Dynamic positioning (DP), • Anchor handling, • Rig moves, • Towage, • Supply operations, • Up-to-date knowledge of marine regulations, industry standards, practices and guidelines, • Ability to produce clear, concise, high-quality technical reports and presentations, • Excellent communication and client-facing skills, • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, • Proficient in Microsoft Office applications, • Right to live and work in the United Kingdom, • Medically fit for offshore assignments Core Competencies • Effective leadership of project teams and cross-disciplinary collaboration, • Professional communication and stakeholder influence, • Ability to assess alternative engineering approaches and apply risk-based solutions, • Strong project management capability, • Commercial awareness and sound decision-making, • Proactive, confident and self-motivated approach If this sounds like it could be you - or someone you know, we'd love to hear from you!
