About you
We are seeking a self-motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our team of maritime specialists in a senior role.


This is a great opportunity for someone with a port or marine background, and a strong analytical mindset, to join a growing team working on maritime projects that make a significant contribution to the UK economy.


You will have the drive and motivation to make a difference in the ports and maritime sector, whether working with small trust port or larger port groups.

You will have some or all of the following:

  • Working knowledge of port or marine operations
  • Consultancy or project management experience
  • Analytical skills with a scientific mindset
  • Understanding of marine risk management processes
  • Experience with vessel operations
  • Strong communication skills that will support the delivery of technical reports and presentations to senior personnel
  • Excellent timemanagement, organisational and prioritisation skills
  • A driving licence and a selfsufficient mindset (travel is an expectation)

About the role


You will work as part of a highly ambitious team, directly involved in all stages of client projects, from feasibility and costing to delivery and ongoing support.

Your role will be tailored to your skills and experience, and may include any of the following:


Technical delivery:

  • Providing onsite port/marine assurance auditing
  • Preparing technical studies, such as Navigational Risk Assessments, aids to navigation reviews, vessel traffic management studies and pilotage assessments
  • Onsite client work to prepare and support port/marine operational instructions, management systems and plans
  • Consulting with stakeholders and hosting of workshops
  • Delivering training to port and harbour organisations
  • Providing operation and development support to clients, such as mooring studies and vessel traffic management advice

Service development:

  • Managing enquiries and preparing proposal documents

Career development
Our success depends on our people performing at their highest level. That is why staff learning and development is the cornerstone of working at
ABPmer.


We are committed to ensuring every colleague has access to learning and training tools, enabling them to grow in their role and support their career development.


Location
Our offices are based at Town Quay in Southampton, with fantastic views overlooking Southampton Water.


We recognise it is not always convenient to work from a central office every weekday, which is why we provide flexible and hybrid working options.


We deliver varied projects, primarily throughout the UK, but also overseas; as such some of our project work requires occasional site-visits, port and site operational checks and working away from home.

This is usually self-managed to allow you to continue to meet existing commitments.

We offer a competitive salary, hybrid working and great benefits including 26 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), private healthcare, annual bonus, holiday purchase scheme, excellent pension, electric vehicle lease scheme and employee discoun
