Coldharbour Marine Launches Recruitment Drive

The additional space and facilities made available together with the anticipated introduction of the IMO Ballast Water Convention has encouraged this specialist marine manufacturer to recruit an additional 50 engineers. These additional team members will be a crucial element underpinning the next stage of the company’s growth plans.

Coldharbour Marine Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Marshall, explains, ”Until the new regulations come into force there is no real incentive for ship owners or operators to install ballast treatment systems. Once the convention becomes active, owners will have to comply and fit systems.  We are expanding our engineering teams in anticipation.” 

Additional mechanical and electrical engineers are needed to fill a variety of roles, some will support product development in the Research and Development laboratory, some will join Quality Control in the Factory Acceptance Test area some will custom design and develop ballast water and inert gas installations for customers and additional project team leaders will be needed. Engineers will be involved in the training department and will work with shipyard and customers’ engineers explaining how the Coldharbour Marine systems operate and how they should be installed. Engineers will also work alongside Coldharbour Marine’s international sales network so some overseas travel opportunities will be available.
