About You

We are looking for an established operations or project leader with significant experience gained within the subsea, offshore, engineering or energy services sectors.

           

You should bring:

  • Around 7 to 10+ years' relevant experience within subsea construction, offshore operations or oil and gas project execution.
  • Significant experience leading multidisciplinary operational and project teams.
  • A strong track record of managing complex, high-value projects or campaigns incorporating fabrication, mobilisation and offshore execution.
  • Strong knowledge of operational planning, project management, workshop and manufacturing activities.
  • Experience managing cross-functional project and workshop-based teams.
  • Strong HSEQ leadership and a detailed understanding of risk management and offshore safety.
  • Knowledge of relevant industry standards and regulations, potentially including DNV, IMCA, API, ISO, LOLER and PUWER.
  • Commercial awareness with experience of budgets, forecasting, cost control and operational performance.
  • The ability to engage confidently with senior clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Strong leadership, communication, planning and decision-making skills.

Desirable Experience

Particular interest would be given to candidates with experience in one or more of the following:

  • Integrated subsea project delivery.
  • Subsea construction and installation.
  • Offshore stabilisation solutions.
  • Concrete or offshore grouting.
  • Fabrication, assembly and testing operations.
  • Business development or sales.
  • Financial and functional reporting.

               

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a broad senior leadership role offering considerably more than day-to-day project management. You'll have the opportunity to influence operational strategy, project delivery, team development, commercial performance and future growth, while playing a key role in developing the organisation's UK capability.

             

It should appeal particularly to an experienced subsea or offshore professional who has progressed beyond individual project delivery and is ready to take wider ownership of projects, operations, people and commercial performance.
