Offer description

WHO WE ARE

Port of Aberdeen is one of the UK's busiest ports and a driving force for energy transition, maritime decarbonisation, trade and tourism.

Our vision is to become Scotland's premier net zero port, offering world class facilities and services at the heart of the nation's energy transition efforts. Everyone at Port of Aberdeen has an important role in making this a reality.

We are a multimodal port and provide an integrated logistics and services hub for our customers, supporting a diverse range of industries including oil and gas, renewables, general cargo, cruise and ferries.

We offer world-class infrastructure with a strategic location and access to an expert supply chain. All with an uncompromising focus on safety, health, and quality.

Port of Aberdeen's culture is built on empowering, investing in, and developing our people. It takes outstanding talent to keep the expanded port running safely and smoothly. We offer a wide range of roles from pilots to port operators, engineers to administration, SHEQ to HR and much more.

The port has been at the heart of the city for almost 900 years and our transformational South Harbour expansion will create new opportunities and prosperity for generations to come

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a few Non-Executive Board Members to provide strategic direction and governance to the port. As an independent Trust Port, our Board consists of nine Non-Executives and three Executive members.

The appointment is part-time, typically up to two days per month, exclusive of time for participation in an induction programme. The Board have agreed to schedule at least eight meetings per year, although there may be occasions when additional meetings are required.

Our aim is to ensure that the Board continues to have an appropriate balance of skills, competencies, and experience to provide it with leadership and effective strategic direction.

The Board should have:

* Specialist knowledge of subjects which are relevant to the port (e.g. property management, shipping and maritime operations, strategic human resource management).
* Genuine interest in helping to shape the future development of the port.
* Knowledge of relationships between the port and the UK and Scottish Governments.
* An understanding of the legal and statutory framework within which the port operates and the duties and obligations this places on the Board.

WHAT WE NEED

We are proud of our past, but our eyes are firmly on exploring new opportunities. To achieve our ambitions, we need diverse and outstanding talent. This year we are seeking candidates with expertise in property, shipping and maritime or strategic human resources.

Applicants will be required to demonstrate ability and track record in their profession and will be required to work with senior and professional staff.

Candidates will need to demonstrate the following skills and experience:

* An ability to formulate and discuss strategic subjects in a boardroom environment in a coherent and structured way.
* To be able to contribute effectively and impartially to group discussions involving a wide range of subject matter and people, including specialists and professionals.
* A depth of management or specialist expertise, without personal bias, towards any sector of activity.
* An ability to quickly grasp complex issues
* Experience of achieving results in a committee or Board environment.

The Board is committed to incorporating the standards and objectives of the Scottish Government's publication 'Modern Trust Ports for Scotland – Guidance for Good Governance' which recommends that the annual performance of Board members should be assessed.
