Are you passionate about maritime safety and risk management? Do you thrive in a consultancy environment where you can apply your expertise to real-world challenges in the offshore renewables industry? Do you want to be part of a team that empowers the marine sector to create a sustainable and accident-free maritime environment? If so, NASH Maritime is looking for a Principal Consultant to join our team and play a key role in delivering expert guidance on shipping, navigation, and maritime risk.

NASH Maritime is a specialist consultancy in shipping, navigation, and maritime risk. Our mission is to support the industry in better understanding and mitigating maritime risks and impacts. We work on a wide range of projects across offshore renewables, ports, harbours, marine terminals, and oil & gas facilities. By combining practical maritime experience with data science and technology, we provide innovative, evidence-based solutions throughout the full lifecycle of marine developments—from planning and site selection to operation and decommissioning.

As Principal Consultant, you will take the lead in assessing potential impacts on shipping and navigation, conducting navigational risk assessments, and engaging with clients and stakeholders. You will manage projects to ensure successful delivery while mentoring and supporting junior team members. Working closely with clients and stakeholders, you will be responsible for ensuring that projects are delivered within budget and time requirements, and to the highest quality standards. You will also play a key role in business development, contributing to bids, tenders, and wider growth initiatives, with your work also directly contributing to shaping industry best practices and improving maritime safety.

To excel in this role, you should have professional consultancy experience in a relevant field, coupled with a background in shipping, ports, offshore renewables, or similar, and a keen interest in the maritime sector. A relevant degree (such as science, environmental science, engineering, geography, or risk/mathematics) or equivalent qualifications (e.g. Master Mariner) is required. You should have strong analytical and communication skills, with experience in stakeholder engagement, report writing, and project management. Experience in data analysis, EIA, licensing, or risk assessment would be beneficial, as would membership or chartered status in a relevant professional institution.

You will be offered the chance to work on a variety of projects, many of our employees have worked on projects that have been of personal interest to them. We match this with a commitment to continuous development and learning to support your career. We also offer benefits to look after you, from private medical insurance for all employees, access to mental health first aiders and comprehensive income protection if you cannot work. We also offer superb flexible working options, balancing work with your life.
