Compliance & Safety: Enforce strict adherence to marine safety protocols (e.g., OSHA, EM 385-1-1) and environmental regulations to minimize impact on marine ecosystems. Financial Control: Manage project budgets, tracking costs for fuel, labor, and equipment maintenance while ensuring accurate invoicing and collections. Typical Daily Duties Conducting site visits and reviewing hydrographic and topographic survey data to verify dredge profile deliverables. Monitoring vessel production rates and optimizing operational efficiency to reduce downtime. Supervising a multidisciplinary crew, including dredge masters, surveyors, and marine engineers. Preparing daily progress reports for management and clients, tracking labor productivity and schedule status. Key Requirements & Qualifications Education: A Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering, Marine Engineering, or Geology is standard. Experience: Typically requires 715 years in the dredging or maritime industry, with at least 5 years in a managerial capacity. Technical Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD, GIS tools, and hydrographic survey software like Hypack. Physical Demands: Ability to work in remote locations for extended periods and move safely across marine vessels (ladders, uneven surfaces). Salary: 6000 – 7000USD pm plus 500USD pm for daily expenses, accomodation, car and driver, life insurance and medical aid. 2 flights per annum home for 2 weeks break at a time.
