About the role
The Isle of Man's ports are essential to the Island's economy, connectivity and resilience. We are seeking an experienced operational leader to oversee the safe, efficient and effective management of harbour operations across the Island.
The Ports Operations Manager role is a unique opportunity to help lead an entire ports network, working across commercial ferry operations, leisure and fishing activity, marine services, safety management and emergency preparedness.
Lead the operation of the Isle of Man's ports
As a key member of the Harbours Division leadership team, you will help shape the future of port operations while ensuring the highest standards of safety, customer service and operational performance.
Working closely with Port Managers and operational teams, you’ll help deliver consistent, highquality services. This is your chance to lead a vital service, influence how ports operate across the Island and contribute to the continued development of harbour operations and lead the safe and efficient operation of the Isle of Man's entire ports network, helping shape the future of one of the Island's most critical public services.
No two days are the same
One day you may be reviewing marine safety arrangements, the next supporting a major ferry operation, responding to an operational incident, working with commercial customers, or helping develop the future strategy for the Island's ports.
You will work alongside Government, emergency services, shipping operators, maritime businesses and international stakeholders to ensure the Isle of Man's harbours continue to operate safely and effectively.
A career and lifestyle opportunity
Few roles offer the opportunity to help lead the operation of an entire national ports network while enjoying a fantastic work-life balance. The Isle of Man provides a rare combination of operational responsibility, strategic influence and leadership within a self-governing island nation
Within minutes of leaving work, you can be enjoying coastal walks, cycling, sailing, paddleboarding or exploring the Island's outstanding natural environment. Commute times are short, communities are welcoming and the quality of life is exceptional.
The Island combines operational leadership on a national scale with a lifestyle that enables more time for family, hobbies and the outdoors. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the future of the Isle of Man's ports while making a visible impact every day.
