What Success Looks Like Consistently wins and delivers projects that meet both technical and commercial expectations
Operates with high ownership, taking accountability beyond scope or job title
Builds credibility quickly with engineers, customers and partners
Thrives in ambiguity, managing multiple fast moving projects without heavy process
Brings energy, resilience and a bias for completion in demanding, real world environments
What Is on Offer Direct exposure to cutting edge marine electrification and autonomy projects
A visible role with influence over revenue, customers and strategic delivery
Real ownership in a low bureaucracy, high trust environment
The chance to shape how projects are won and delivered as the business scales
Long term progression within a growing, investor backed technology company
