Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Project Manager

Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited have big ambitions to transform the ferry network in Scotland. Backed by a five-year £580 million investment plan from Scottish Government, our plans to upgrade and improve ferries and harbours are already well underway and we need enthusiastic, innovative engineering project managers to join us to provide and maintain the safe, efficient, reliable ports and harbours that Scotland’s islands need.

We are recruiting a Mechanical & Electrical Engineering project manager to help deliver our programme of works to maintain existing infrastructure, upgrade facilities to accommodate new vessels and adopt new technologies, and even build brand new ferry terminals.

The role

· As the client, oversee the development, procurement and implementation of capital and refurbishment projects and works for harbour infrastructure.

· Deliver multiple projects and planned & reactive programmes of work from initiation to completion.

· Lead project teams including consultants, contractors, internal stakeholders, and the port/ferry operator to deliver projects and solutions.

· Manage projects and works to minimise disruption to port and ferry operations and neighbouring communities.

· Work with communities and external stakeholders to understand their needs and, where possible, accommodate these in project outcomes.

· Manage projects and works to comply with legislative and business requirements.

Who are we looking for?

CMAL requires a motivated, professional, and diligent individual with a proactive and creative approach to problem solving and the ability to work autonomously and flexibly. We are particularly looking for someone with the following skills, experience, and attributes:

· Experience in managing, co-ordinating, and supervising mechanical & electrical engineering projects and works.

· Experience of working with engineering consultants to achieve required outcomes.

· Dedicated team player, who is capable of building strong, effective relationships both internally and externally.

· Experience of working in a project management environment.

· Thorough knowledge and understanding of H&S and other legal, statutory and technical requirements within your discipline.

· A background in marine engineering, knowledge of Scottish Government procurement routes and/or use of NEC contracts would all be advantageous.

· A minimum of an HND and related experience in a relevant engineering discipline.

· Registered with the Engineering Council as Incorporated (or Chartered) Engineer, or be actively working towards registration.

· The roles will require site meetings and inspections, sometimes in the evening or at weekends, therefore a driving licence and a flexible approach to work are essential.

What’s in it for you?

A rewarding and evolving working environment in a future thinking organisation.

In addition to an attractive salary (placing on the scale is dependent on qualifications and experience) and a benefits package, including 30 days annual leave plus 8 public holidays per year, a defined benefit pension scheme, life assurance and an optional healthcare scheme, we also support further personal and professional development.

The work environment

Our head office is on the Clyde Estuary, in Port Glasgow and our ports and harbours are spread across the west coast and islands of Scotland. Like most organisations, we’ve learnt a thing, or two, about flexible, remote working and we are actively building on this to ensure we have the best people working with us to serve the communities that rely on our infrastructure.
