Marine Safety Superintendent (DPA)

Job Description

The Marine Department, which is responsible for the safety, maintenance, care and overall operations of our fleet of survey vessels, has an opportunity for persons who are established within a Designated Person Ashore (DPA) role or similar.

Safety on board our vessels is the number one consideration when we perform our work. The DPA will be responsible for ensuring the safe operation of each ship and provide a key communication link between the office and those on board on vessels.

You will ensure that ships’ security assessments are carried out and liaise with the relevant security officers to achieve this requirement. You will organise and coordinate internal audits, verify and monitor the Company Safety Management Systems, ensuring that adequate resources are in place to implement those systems.

Sharing information and communicating the SMS and ISM code are essential to ensure adequate understanding by personnel involved, including relevant rules, regulations, guidelines and any adjustments or amendments to them. You will also be tasked with enforcing security policies, as set out in the Company plan. You will carry out incident and accident investigations, as well as risk-assess any potentially hazardous work.

The position is based at our offices in Great Yarmouth but you will be required to visit vessels as part of your safety & security role on a worldwide scale, to promote best practice, communicate safety culture and maintain a pro-active presence.

Applicants will ideally have several years experience working in a DPA and/or ships’ safety and security role within the marine industry, either in a seagoing or shore-based position. You MUST have a working knowledge of the ISM code and relevant maritime regulations, codes and classification requirements.

We are looking for a positive, influential and professional person for this role, someone who understands and promotes the benefits of communication, information sharing, awareness and a culture of safety on day-to-day ships’ operations.
