Who we are:

The Port of London Authority is the statutory harbour authority for the tidal Thames and responsible for 95 miles of the River Thames from the Estuary to Teddington Lock in West London.

As VTS Officer in the PLA, you will be required to operate the latest state of the art surveillance and communications equipment and manage the navigational safety of the world’s largest ships down to the smallest recreational craft as well as protecting one of the most iconic and historical waterways. You will deal with the general public, berth operators and emergency services as well as communicating extensively with senior management, marine pilots, the harbour patrol service and other internal Port of London Authority departments.

This is a highly rewarding role in one of the UK’s premier ports, an industry leading organisation which provides attractive benefits including career progression into supervisory and Harbour Master roles.

Any other duties assigned by the manager or supervisor from time to time. Such duties will be reasonable in relation to the jobholder’s skills, abilities and status.

The above list is not exhaustive and other duties may be attached to the post from time to time. Variations may also occur to the duties and responsibilities without changing the general character of the post.

What we are looking for:

The successful candidate will hold an STCW certificate of competency, a VTS C0103-1 or a VTS Module 4 certificate and ability to complete a C0103-1. There is a further requirement to obtain a VTS Local Knowledge Endorsement for which training will be provided.

Benefits package:

28 days annual leave
Medical Cash Plan (Westfield Health)
Generous pension - up to 14% employer contribution
Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources
