What's the Role About

As our Operations Project Manager, you're the go-to person for everything happening on and around your assigned vessels. You'll make sure things run smoothly, from crew coordination and safety to cost control and contract execution. You're the glue between the ship and shore, and you thrive on seeing your projects in action (yes, that means joining the crew onboard sometimes too!). You'll be in constant contact with clients, crew, technical teams, port agents, and more - basically, keeping everyone on the same page and the operation running like clockwork. It's a dynamic mix of project management, communication, and hands-on problem solving.

This is more than just operations, it's your chance to own your projects, drive improvements, and help shape how we do business across departments.

Your Key Missions

Take full ownership of day-to-day operations for your vessels. You'll be the one ensuring everything lines up with the client's contract - from timelines to technical details.
Be budget-savvy - manage project costs in real-time and keep an eye on financial performance alongside the commercial team.
Act as the first point of contact for clients. You'll keep relationships strong and adapt quickly when client needs shift.
Stay close to your crew - support them with whatever they need to make the project a success.
Ensure crews keep up with reporting, maintenance, and onboard housekeeping. Your leadership helps them stay sharp.
Keep our systems updated with accurate project data (ERP tools, we'll get you up to
speed).
Keep an eye on any overdue payments - diplomatically, of course.
Collaborate across departments daily - commercial, technical, crewing, QHSSE, and more
