Marine Project Manager

Job Description Summary

The energy transition demands experienced project leaders who can navigate complexity, manage commercial risk, and build lasting customer relationships. As a Marine Project Manager within GE Vernova's Power Conversion business, you will take ownership of high-stakes programmes in the marine and naval sector - ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of some of the most demanding customers in the industry.

This is a customer-facing role at the heart of a multi-disciplinary delivery team. You will be the primary point of contact for clients, the driver of project performance, and the person who brings clarity when challenges arise.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary customer contact across your marine programmes, building trusted relationships that support satisfaction, retention, and future business.
• Lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary project teams - aligning internal functions and external suppliers to deliver against contractual commitments on time and within budget.
• Manage the commercial, technical, and quality dimensions of your projects, including timely customer billing and cash collection.
• Create, maintain, and drive progress against project plans - identifying deviations early, managing risk, and forecasting performance with confidence.
• Register, compile, submit, and negotiate extensions of time, variations, and contractual claims as they arise.
• Ensure full compliance with GE Vernova processes and procedures throughout the project lifecycle.
• Conduct structured project reviews to monitor cost, track progress, and manage issues before they escalate.

About You

You are a project professional who thrives in complex, customer-facing environments - someone who is as comfortable managing commercial negotiations as you are coordinating a technical delivery team.

Required

• A Higher National Certificate (HNC) or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject - or equivalent professional experience.
• Proven experience in a Project Management, commercial, or Quantity Surveying role.
• Demonstrated ability to manage external customer relationships with commercial awareness.
• Solid understanding of project finances, including billing, cost control, and internal trading.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Ability to obtain Security Clearance to at least 'Basic' level.
• Willingness and ability to travel to customer, supplier, and site locations when required.

Preferred

• A degree in a commercial or technical discipline, or formal qualification in Project Management or Quantity Surveying (e.g., Association for Project Management (APM), Project Management Professional (PMP), or Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)).
• Knowledge of marine or naval markets.
• Experience in business operations, procurement, supplier negotiations, or contractual and legal aspects of project delivery.
• Familiarity with SAP.

A formal education and subsequent Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant subject is nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.
