Project Manager, Operations Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer

A fast-growing marine cleantech business is scaling deployment of a propulsion system for commercial vessels. The technology is already operating at sea and the team is now moving into early commercial rollout-working through subcontract manufacturers
, delivering shipyard installations
, and supporting equipment in service.

This is a hands-on delivery role in a small team: you'll keep multiple work streams moving, remove blockers quickly, and provide clear visibility of schedule/risk/cost.

• Build and maintain practical delivery plans from concept through manufacture, installation and operational handover
• Coordinate internal engineering plus external subcontract manufacturers, fabricators, and suppliers
• Drive readiness for shipyard work:
  documentation, logistics, interface planning, access/yard constraints, method statements (where applicable)
• Run action tracking from technical meetings-turn decisions into clear owners, dates and next steps
• Manage risk/issue tracking and elevate early; keep leadership updated with simple, accurate reporting
• Support continuous improvement of delivery processes/tools as the business scales

Essential

• Experience in project coordination / project engineering / project management in a technical environment
• Exposure to at least one of:
  marine, shipbuilding/ship repair, offshore, heavy engineering, manufacturing/fabrication, industrial installation/commissioning
• Comfortable coordinating multiple parties (engineering, suppliers, yards) and keeping pace in a changing environment
• Strong written communication and ability to maintain clear plans, actions, and status updates

Desirable

• Experience involving shipyards, dockyards, port environments, or vessel operations
• Familiarity with manufacturing supply chain (lead times, QA, FAT/SAT, documentation packs)
• Any project tools background (MS Project or similar)

You'll be close to the product and the outcomes-supporting a technology that is actively being deployed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in shipping. It's a broad role with genuine responsibility across engineering delivery, suppliers and shipyard execution.
