Description du poste

Join Grapefruit as our Marine Project Manager

We’re looking for an experienced and commercially minded Marine Project Manager to join Grapefruit and help grow our work across the marine sector. This is much more than a desk-based project management role.

You’ll look after established marine clients, work with major brands and events, develop new business opportunities and take projects from the initial conversation through to successful delivery.

One week you could be meeting a client or carrying out a site assessment; the next you could be coordinating production, attending an installation or travelling internationally if necessary to help deliver a project.

For the right person, it’s an opportunity to combine marine industry knowledge, client relationships, sales and hands-on project delivery.

What you’ll be doing - Working with our production, design and installation teams, you'll be responsible for:

• Managing and developing relationships with our existing marine clients
• Working with major brands, marine businesses and international events
• Managing projects from initial enquiry and quotation through to production, installation and completion
• Understanding client requirements and developing the right solution with our internal teams
• Acting as the main point of contact throughout each project
• Carrying out site assessments and attending client and project meetings
• Coordinating schedules, production, suppliers, logistics and installations
• Monitoring project deadlines, quality and budgets
• Identifying opportunities to grow existing client accounts
• Proactively developing new business within the marine sector
• Carrying out outbound sales and building relationships with prospective marine clients
• Preparing quotes, proposals and project information
• Supporting installations on site when required
• Travelling within the UK and internationally for projects, installations, meetings and events
• Ensuring every project represents the quality and service our clients expect from Grapefruit

Who we’re looking for

Marine industry experience or strong marine sector knowledge is essential for this position.

You’ll ideally have:

• Project or account management experience
• Excellent client relationship skills
• A commercial mindset and confidence identifying new opportunities
• Confidence with outbound sales and business development
• Strong organisational and time-management skills
• The ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
• A practical, solutions-focused approach
• Confidence attending site meetings and assessments
• Willingness to get hands-on and assist with installations when required
• Flexibility to travel within the UK and worldwide

Experience within print, branding, signage, graphics, events or display would be advantageous, but marine industry knowledge is the priority.

Why Grapefruit?

This is an opportunity to work on projects that aren't ordinary.

You'll have the chance to work with established marine clients, major brands and high-profile events, with opportunities to travel internationally as projects require.

Our benefits include:

• Monday–Friday working, 7:30am–4:00pm
• 32 days’ holiday, including UK public holidays
• Additional gifted Christmas shutdown
• Pension contributions
• A great production, design and project team around you
• Worldwide travel opportunities

Interested?

If you know the marine industry, enjoy building relationships and want to combine commercial responsibility with delivering exciting projects, we'd love to hear from you.
