Technical Manager

Are you a Chief or 2nd Engineer ready to step ashore and take the next step in your marine career? This is an ideal opportunity to move into a Technical Manager position—office-based with infrequent travel as needed, but without the constant time at sea. You’ll join a thriving offshore specialist operating a modern fleet of Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), known for their innovation, reliability, and strong team culture. Based in Scarborough, the role offers a starting salary of £45K+ (with flexibility for the right candidate), a discretionary bonus, 20 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, loyalty-based leave increases, a strong company pension, and a host of additional perks. With significant investment into growth and sustainability, it’s an exciting time to come onboard.

The successful Technical Manager will be responsible for: 

Overseeing the day-to-day technical performance and compliance of a modern offshore vessel fleet

Leading the shore-based engineering team and coordinating third-party contractors and suppliers

Supporting crews with real-time technical advice and overseeing defect resolution and preventative maintenance

Managing MARAD PMS, technical drawings, critical spares, and warranty tracking on new builds

Planning and executing docking periods, yard visits, and internal audits

Attending client and Class/Flag meetings, and advising on marine regulations, ISM, SOLAS and MARPOL compliance

Contributing to accident investigations, risk assessments and wider safety and compliance initiatives

Supporting the DPA function and Emergency Response Team as a key contact in live vessel emergencies

We’re looking for a Technical Manager with:

A degree or equivalent in Marine or Mechanical Engineering – candidates working towards qualifications will also be considered

At least 3 years’ technical management or engineering experience within the marine sector

Strong knowledge of vessel systems (propulsion, electrical, HVAC) and statutory compliance (ISM, SOLAS, MARPOL)

Experience liaising with Flag, Class, and Recognised Organisations – ideally within offshore or transfer vessel settings

A collaborative, people-focused approach with confidence managing teams, suppliers, and audits

Familiarity with Caterpillar engines, PMS systems (e.g. MARAD), and managing warranty processes

Why apply?

This is a hands-on, high-impact role in a well-respected business that’s scaling quickly. You'll be part of a collaborative, experienced team that values innovation, flexibility, and professionalism. In return for your expertise, you’ll receive a competitive base salary (DOE), discretionary bonus, generous holiday entitlement (with loyalty rewards), free parking, casual dress, and a dynamic work environment that supports growth
