By combining operational knowledge of mooring equipment, anchor handling and industry failure modes with subsea engineering expertise, we create a company unmatched within the mooring niche.

- Lead commercial evaluations, coordinate technical evaluations, and prepare bid comparisons, recommendations, negotiation strategies, and award records
- Work with Legal and Project Management on supplier terms, protections, deliverables, warranties, insurance, liabilities, and flow-down requirements
- Maintain complete records of quotations, evaluations, approvals, negotiations, awards, correspondence, and commitments
- Lead critical-package meetings and monitor supplier engineering, documents, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and delivery
- Monitor supplier performance against cost, schedule, quality, technical, documentation, and HSE requirements and coordinate corrective action
- Provide status reports, look-aheads, commitment forecasts, risk updates, and decision logs for project reviews
- Support audits, supplier reviews, warranty follow-up, final reconciliation, lessons learned, and package closeout
- RequiredBachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, Construction Management, Finance, or related discipline. Equivalent experience may be considered

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
