Master Mariner Job Glasgow area,Scotland UK,Engineering

We are working with a leading technical consultancy serving the marine and energy sectors to find a Master Mariner for their UK office.

Master Mariner

The organisation is a leading multi-disciplinary technical and scientific consultancy serving the marine and energy sectors.

They investigate, troubleshoot, and advise on a broad range of marine and energy matters and enjoy a reputation for being the ‘go-to’ firm for casualty investigation, forensic analysis, technical dispute resolution and expert witness work. Their reputation has been built upon exceptional, independent service, and that service is only possible by having the best people in their team.

Working for them as a technical investigator is an exciting and unique proposition. Every job is different as their experts get to the bottom of disputes from the very start of a case potentially through to litigation.
