Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, Engineering, or related field preferred.
• 5–8+ years of logistics experience in subsea, offshore oil & gas, marine operations, or heavy industrial sectors.
• Strong understanding of offshore mobilization processes, port operations, and vessel logistics.

• Proficiency with logistics and asset‑tracking systems; WASP experience is a plus.
• Ability to interpret technical equipment lists, engineering drawings, and mobilization plans.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to coordinate across multidisciplinary teams and external partners.
• Ability to work in fast‑paced environments with shifting priorities and tight deadlines.
