An exciting opportunity to join Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners (WHC) has been created to bring additional vision, leadership and direction to a small but effective team delivering the organisation’s successful operations across a varied portfolio.
The brand-new role of Chief Operating Officer will include executing many – but not necessarily all – of the requirements of a Harbour Master role in line with the Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC), supporting The Rum Story visitor attraction and retail provision, and working with the CEO to develop the rental opportunities across the estate and ensure effective delivery of the organisation’s car parking strategy.
The job will also involve working closely with external support organisations that deliver many direct services around the harbour which also come under scrutiny through the PMSC and other regulations.
Our operation is so broad that we expect few people to have all the knowledge and qualifications from the start. Download our detailed job description and person specification for more information but please don’t let a lack of specific sector experience stop you applying. If you specialise in getting things done, are a strong team player, and love variety and challenge, we encourage you to put yourself forward!
Deadline for applications is 4pm on Wednesday 11th December.
