Technical Project Manager Electrical Navy Ships

Organisation

At RH Marine, we realise the system integration of electrical and automation systems on board naval vessels, submarines and superyachts. A complex but fascinating field of work full of innovations. Every ship is custom-made for the customer and after christening, we remain responsible for maintenance and upgrades. So it remains ‘our baby’ throughout the life cycle.

In the coming years, we will be very busy with the new construction and refits of various naval vessels, which is why we are looking for a Technical Project Manager Electrical who will take charge of the construction of custom systems. This is a position for 32 - 40 hours a week, based in Schiedam.
