Overview

About us

We are the independent expert in assurance and risk management. Driven by our purpose, to safeguard life, property, and the environment, we empower our customers and their stakeholders with facts and reliable insights so that critical decisions can be made with confidence.

As a trusted voice for many of the world’s most successful organizations, we use our knowledge to advance safety and performance, set industry benchmarks, and inspire and invent solutions to tackle global transformations.

About Maritime

We help enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of our customers in the global shipping industry, covering all vessel types and mobile offshore units. As a partner to industry, we offer services in testing, certification, training, and technical advisory through the energy value chain. That means we’re continually investing heavily into R&D for new services and solutions while proactively assessing what the industry needs today and tomorrow.

About the role

Would you like to contribute to the green transition in shipping while developing your skills as a consultant?

With more than 20 years of service deliveries dedicated to ship emissions and abatement strategies, our interdisciplinary teams have expertise ranging from detailed technical analysis to strategic advice.

We are now entering an era of profound change. The decarbonization of shipping will increase cost and complexity, as the use of low-GHG fuels will be mandated. We help stakeholders across the maritime industry in navigating this new era, managing transition risks and opportunities.

We also work closely with the industry on assessments related to issues such as ship recycling and biofouling, and we are the Norwegian NOx Fund’s technical advisor.

Due to a high and increasing demand for our knowledge and services, we are now looking for a new colleague to strengthen our team.

The right candidate will contribute to:

Feasibility studies of low- and zero-emission solutions, including maritime batteries, fuel cells, LNG, hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, biofuels, CCS, nuclear and other emission reduction technologies
Techno-economic modelling of fuel and technology options
Assessments of barriers and drivers for the transition to low-GHG fuel and technology
Assisting clients, ranging from shipping companies to authorities and incentive schemes, in developing environmental strategies and approaches for implementing emission abatement solutions
