This is an exciting opportunity to join Lloyd’s Register’s Maritime Technical Advisory group on our journey to be the industry’s trusted advisor that improves the performance and sustainability of our customer’s business. A key part of the group is our ship performance team which provides advisory services to support client challenges associated with decarbonisation, energy efficiency technologies, efficient and sustainable ship operations, independent assurance and verification of performance and design.
