Operations Manager - Marine Services

Boskalis offers a unique environment where maritime expertise, operational excellence and project delivery come together — both at sea and onshore. As an Operations Manager you will manage the operation of a group of vessels during all phases of our projects. Our pool of 34 vessels consists of Anchor Handling Tugs, Construction Support Vessels as well as Ocean towing vessels. You will be the client interface for both internal as well as external clients operating in the renewables and O&G sectors. In this role, you are responsible for keeping your assigned vessel(s) fully operational and project ready at all times. The role focuses primarily on the management of DP-2 and DP-3 Construction Support Vessels equipped with subsea cranes ranging from 100–600T, ROV systems, AHC winches, moonpools and specialized subsea tooling. Your responsibilities include managing the right crewing setup for various projects, ensuring technical and operational readiness for upcoming projects, managing the vessel's financial performance during execution, and ensuring compliance with contractual guidelines throughout charter periods. You work closely with internal stakeholders such as Fleet, Crewing, Commercial and Engineering to align operational execution with project and contract requirements. While the role is primarily focused on operational delivery, you also act as a key point of contact for clients on operational matters during project execution, ensuring clear communication, expectation management, and timely resolution of operational challenges. Through this balanced interaction with both internal teams and external clients, you safeguard reliable vessel operations and contribute to successful project outcomes.
