Are you a specialist maritime civil engineer? This one is perfect for a Marine Project Manager who can take ownership of complex, high‑risk marine and coastal infrastructure projects. This isn't a role for a generalist Project Manager; it's for someone who understands the realities of delivering in tidal, weather‑affected, highly regulated environments and can lead a programme with clarity, discipline and technical credibility.
You'll be the driving force behind:
- Delivery of marine structures: quays, jetties, dolphins, breakwaters, cofferdams, piling over water and marine foundations
- Daily coordination of marine plant, vessels, jack‑ups, barges and specialist subcontractors
- Programme ownership, including tidal windows, weather contingencies and marine lift planning
- Compliance with marine licences, environmental permits, harbour authority rules and CDM
- Commercial management under NEC (EWNs, CE management, forecasting, change control)
- Technical oversight of temporary works, marine lifts, fabrication tolerances and constructability
- Stakeholder engagement with port authorities, regulators, designers, divers and marine specialists
- Leadership of site teams, ensuring safety, quality and productivity remain consistently high
What You Bring:
- Proven experience delivering marine or heavy civil engineering works in coastal or port environments
- Strong planning capability (Primavera P6 preferred) with a realistic, practical approach to sequencing
- Deep understanding of marine construction methods and constraints
- Confidence managing specialist subcontractors and complex interfaces
- Strong commercial awareness and NEC contract experience
- Ability to remain composed, structured and decisive in unpredictable conditions
- High-quality documentation, reporting and governance discipline
- A delivery mindset... someone who drives progress rather than oversees it
Why Join:
You'll be part of a contractor with a strong marine pipeline, modern marine plant, and a reputation for delivering technically challenging projects. Expect autonomy, support from a highly capable engineering team, and the chance to lead work that genuinely shapes coastal infrastructure. This is an excellent opportunity for a Marine specialist.
