Operations Manager

Job Description

Do you want to join our Geo-data revolution? Fugro’s global reach and unique know-how will put the world at your fingertips. Our love of exploration and technical expertise help us to provide our clients with invaluable insights. We source and make sense of the most relevant Geo-data for their needs, so they can design, build and operate their assets more safely, sustainably and efficiently. But we’re always looking for new talent to take the next step with us. For bright minds who enjoy meaningful work and want to push our pioneering spirit further. For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role:

Step into the dynamic world of Fugro, the global leader in Geo-data, where your role as Operations Manager in Inspection and Monitoring (I&M) will be pivotal. With our cutting-edge integrated data acquisition, analysis, and advisory services, you'll unlock unparalleled insights, guiding our clients in designing, building, and operating their assets safely, sustainably, and efficiently.

In this exciting position, you'll lead the charge in delivering our I&M works, collaborating seamlessly with our integrated team. Your technical expertise and project management skills will be the driving force behind the successful execution of large and moderately complex operations.

But that's just the beginning. You'll also play a crucial role in client development, partnering with the UK Monitoring Manager and engaging as a technical expert with clients across the UK and the Europe-Africa (EUAF) region. Your insights and expertise will help shape the future of our projects and expand our reach.

You'll support commercial and proposal preparations, ensuring that our initiatives are not only innovative but also commercially viable. This is your chance to make a significant impact in a rapidly growing area of our business.

Who we’re looking for:

Reporting to the UK Monitoring Manager, you will be at the heart of delivering single service-line projects or I&M work packages within multi-service line projects. Your role involves close collaboration with the Monitoring Manager, Project Manager, I&M Engineers, and the BD/Commercial Team in the UK and EUAF. You'll ensure projects are executed successfully, supporting commercial elements of the service line, and driving a culture of safety through the implementation of Company HSE programmes like 3S Together.

Your day-to-day will be dynamic and impactful. You’ll enforce safety protocols to maintain a secure working environment, drive the reduction of leakage, and ensure quality reporting and investigations. Your proficiency in Inspection and Monitoring technologies will be key, as you develop detailed project execution plans and lead project teams, including engineers, technicians, data processors, and sub-contractors.

Supporting the Project Manager, you’ll deliver projects in line with budget and timelines, mentor team members, and ensure the QA and QC of monitoring data and installation reports. Your responsibilities will also include coordinating the mobilisation and delivery of monitoring projects, developing project execution and safety plans, managing procurement cycles, and supporting monthly financial management and revenue recognition processes.

You’ll occasionally travel to sites to assist with field operations, supervise, train, and handle installation/commissioning activities. You will manage project logistics, proactive client communication, and assist in resource planning. Your Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geodesy, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field will serve as your foundation in this challenging and rewarding role.

What we offer:

Fugro provides a positive work environment as well as projects that will satisfy the most curious minds. We also offer great opportunities to stretch and develop yourself. By giving you the freedom to grow faster, we think you’ll be able to do what you do best, better. Which should help us to find fresh ways to get to know the earth better. We encourage you to be yourself at Fugro. So bring your energy and enthusiasm, your keen eye and can-do attitude. But bring your questions and opinions too. Because to be the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, we need the strength in depth that comes from a diverse, driven team.

• Extensive career & training opportunities both nationally and internationally.
• Competitive salary accompanied by an attractive package including contributory pension scheme
