Desirable experience includes:

  *  Marine, shipbuilding, or offshore experience

  *  Experience in a start-up or fast-growth business

Role & Responsibilities:

As Project Manager, you will help ensure projects move forward at pace, with clear actions, strong coordination, and effective communication across all stakeholders, while maintaining focus on time, cost, and delivery.

Responsibilities will include:

  * Build simple, practical project plans from initial concepts

  * Coordinate engineering, suppliers, and internal teams to deliver milestones

  * Maintain clear task lists and ensure actions are closed quickly

  * Identify risks early and escalate issues where needed

  * Help ensure projects progress and take initiative on direction

  * Prepare timelines, budgets, and progress updates

  * Maintain project documentation and reporting

  * Coordinate subcontract manufacturers, support providers, and suppliers

  * Track progress and delivery across multiple workstreams

  * Coordinate logistics, documentation, and supplier readiness

  * Attend technical project discussions and capture decisions and actions

  * Help improve project delivery processes as the company grows

Why Join? A rare opportunity to join a business developing real-world clean technology for the global shipping market.

You will benefit from:

  * Working on real engineering and operational challenges across shipyards, factories, and vessels

  * Broad exposure across engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and deployment

  * High levels of ownership and responsibility within a growing business

  * The opportunity to help scale an innovative clean technology company
