• Contribute to the design and enhancement of Fleet IT solutions by working closely with Architecture and Engineering teams to define and implement technology standards.
• Prepare and maintain standardized technical documentation, implementation plans, and operational procedures.
• Gather, analyze, and define project requirements in collaboration with clients, stakeholders, and business teams.
• Ensure successful project delivery through effective planning, execution, and stakeholder coordination.
• Stay updated with emerging technologies, industry best practices and relevant standards to continuously improve vessel IT services.

• Strong knowledge of:
  • Servers and virtualization platforms
  • Storage and backup solutions
  • Network infrastructure and communications
  • Cloud technologies and architectures
  • Desktop and endpoint management
