Ready for your next step and a rewarding career where you can make a real difference?
As an island nation, the UK is almost entirely reliant of the safe arrival and departure of shipping from its ports, with around 95% of the UK’s goods entering or leaving the UK by sea. Every single person in the UK consumes goods daily that have been imported by ship. Manufacturers, energy companies, supermarkets, hospitals and many more vital services rely on ships and seafarers for their imports. Some 65 million sea-borne passengers globally rely on shipping for access to public services, employment, business and holiday travel every year.
This is a unique role within an equally unique organisation. As part of a team, you’ll work on our Lighthouse/Buoy Service Vessels serving 3 weeks on 3 weeks off.

You should be IT literate with a strong knowledge of operations undertaken on board.
