A well-established and rapidly expanding yacht management company is seeking an experienced Technical Manager / Refit Project Manager to join their growing team.

Due to increasing demand for refit management and yachts entering technical management, the company is expanding its technical department and is looking for a commercially certified Chief Engineer with strong large yacht and commercial experience.

This is a senior role involving significant client interaction and responsibility across large yachts, complex refits, and potentially an owner’s fleet.

The position can be Monaco-based or fully remote for the right candidate.

The Role

The successful candidate will support the technical department across both refit project management and technical management, depending on operational requirements.

Responsibilities may include:

• Managing major refit projects for large yachts (typically 80m+)

Refit Projects

Refit projects are typically carried out in European shipyards (Germany, Italy and France) and may range from 4–8 months depending on scope.

During refit periods, the Technical Manager / Project Manager will spend significant time in the yard, with travel home possible during quieter phases of the project.

Travel will be required to shipyards across Europe and occasionally to the Monaco office.
