• Handle responses to key industry stakeholders (e.g. OCIMF, Oil Majors, CDI, RightShip)
• Support charter party matters and communication with charterers

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who combines strong technical knowledge with a collaborative and structured way of working.

You likely have:

• Seagoing experience as Chief Engineer or 2nd Engineer, or relevant shore-based experience (e.g. class surveyor, naval architect)

• Strong understanding of regulatory requirements and industry standards
• A strong focus on safety, quality, and environmental performance
• Good communication skills in English
• The ability to build relationships with vessels, owners, and internal teams

• Work with a highly specialized gas fleet in a global organization
• Take ownership of your vessels and influence technical decisions
• Collaborate with experienced professionals across operations, HSEQ, and commercial teams
