We know finding a new job or hiring can feel complex. That’s why we keep things clear, quick, and human. Our FAQs cut through the noise, no jargon, no fluff. Just straight-talking support from people who get it. And if you don’t see what you need? We’re already on it.

In the world of Maritime Tech & Digital recruitment, it's all about who can steer the ship. Typically, roles like Maritime Software Engineers, Digital Transformation Leads, and Cybersecurity Specialists command top salaries. You can see these roles fetching upwards of £70,000 to £90,000 annually, with seasoned cybersecurity professionals having the potential to earn even more. 

Tech-savvy candidates should get familiar with tools like Autonomy vMap, CAD software, and advanced data analytics platforms. It's vital to understand the nuances of Maritime-specific solutions. Skills? Think beyond the basics of software engineering. Master risk assessment, digital security, and project management. Keep your mind sharp and open – in this field, adaptability is your anchor. 

Both play for the same team but lead in different halves. Employers love a CV that boasts relevant experience. But if you’re the whizz-kid, fresh with cutting-edge skills and certifications (let's say, cloud tech or digital mapping), you’ll catch their eye too. We’re looking at a blend – proven skills wrapped in experiences, and the perfect candidate has a bit of both. 

Absolutely! If you've navigated through roles involving technical project management, IT systems administration, or even roles like data analysis, you're off to a good start. A knack for problem-solving, leadership, and digital innovation are your transferable tidbits. The Maritime sector values adaptability and up-to-date technical knowledge, no matter your industry of origin. 

Certifications hold weight on the CV scales. Look for qualifications like CompTIA Security+, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, or Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). For the Maritime specific touch, Esri Technical Certification for Geographic Information System (GIS) serves well. Credentials speak our industry’s digital language. 

With five years in your Maritime sails, you should expect to command an annual salary in the region of £60,000 to £85,000. Experience in niche areas may push this northward. Employers value depth and breadth of experience, hence the rewards. 

Starting salaries for entry-level positions hover around £25,000 to £35,000 a year. This serves as your dock; build on fresh energy and growth potential. Your journey in this sector begins with opportunities as vast as the sea. 

Our toolkit includes online boards, networking, and proactive outreach to tap into the best talent pool.  

Consultation, job advertisement, candidate screening, and then presenting top-tier maritime tech candidates.  

Through CV reviews, background checks, and assessing their skills to ensure they’re the real deal.  

We stand by our placements. If a candidate isn’t suitable within the agreed timeframe, we’ve got you covered.  

Both. Whether you need someone short-term or a permanent asset, we’ve got you.  

Maritime tech is our world. We know your industry inside out and make it our mission to fit seamlessly into your company culture.
