Job description

At North Star, we're investing in the future of our people, our fleet and our industry.

As a leading offshore infrastructure support vessel operator, we play a critical role in supporting the energy transition across offshore wind, emergency response and maritime operations. Behind every successful vessel is a highly skilled, competent and engaged workforce.

We're looking for an exceptional Cadet, Training & Competence Coordinator to join our Learning & Development team and help develop future maritime professionals while supporting the skills, competence and workforce readiness that underpin safe and successful operations across our fleet.

Join a business that is investing heavily in the development of its people, creating career opportunities across one of the UK's most modern and diverse offshore fleets.

Why This Role Matters

Talent development is a strategic priority at North Star. From supporting cadets embarking on their first voyage to helping experienced employees maintain the skills, certifications and competence needed for operational excellence, you'll play a key role in developing the workforce that powers our business today and tomorrow.

You’ll help shape future talent pipelines, strengthen workforce capability and support the development of the skilled maritime professionals who will power North Star's future success.

What You'll Be Doing

Every day is different. One day you could be supporting a cadet taking the next step in their maritime career, the next you could be working with operational leaders to ensure our workforce is trained, competent and ready to deliver for our customers.

You’ll coordinate learning and development activities, support cadet and trainee progression, and help maintain the training and competence frameworks that underpin workforce readiness across North Star. Working across fleet and shore operations, you’ll collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders and contribute to the future capability of our business.

• Influence talent development, competence assurance and workforce capability.
• Work across a diverse and growing offshore fleet.
• Support an industry at the forefront of the energy transition.
• Build your career within one of the UK's leading offshore vessel operators.
