The Installation Project Manager – Marine Boiler Integration is responsible for the end-to-end planning, coordination, and execution of marine boiler system installation and integration projects. This includes overseeing timelines, budgets, contractors, and technical deliverables for newbuilds, retrofits, or upgrade programs involving high- and low-pressure steam systems. The role ensures that all marine boiler installations meet performance requirements, safety standards, classification rules, and project milestones.
Lead boiler system installation projects for vessels (commercial or naval), including scope development, scheduling, and budget control.
Coordinate with shipyards, OEMs, system integrators, and classification societies to manage the integration of propulsion or auxiliary boiler systems.
Develop detailed project plans, risk assessments, and interface management strategies between boiler systems and vessel infrastructure (e.g., fuel lines, exhaust systems, control panels).
Oversee the mechanical and electrical installation of boilers, including mounting, piping, cabling, insulation, and instrumentation.
Ensure all installations comply with IMO, SOLAS, MARPOL, and class society regulations (ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s, etc.).
Supervise on-site teams and subcontractors during dry-dockings, newbuilds, or retrofit programs, ensuring quality assurance and safety compliance.
Monitor progress, manage change orders, and maintain clear documentation and reporting for stakeholders.
Support commissioning, testing, and sea trial readiness of boiler systems post-installation.
Coordinate logistics and procurement for boiler modules, support skids, and auxiliary components.
Project Management: Drive installation schedules, stakeholder coordination, and budget adherence.
System Integration: Ensure proper interfacing between boiler units, automation systems, and shipboard infrastructure.
Regulatory Compliance: Maintain alignment with maritime codes and classification standards.
Technical Oversight: Provide hands-on leadership during installation, testing, and commissioning phases.
Risk & Safety Management: Enforce safety policies and manage site-level risks across installation sites.
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Marine, or Industrial Engineering, or Project Management certification with strong technical background.
8–15 years of experience in marine engineering, boiler systems installation, or shipboard system integration, with at least 3 years in project leadership.
Solid understanding of marine boiler design, piping, structural mounting, and commissioning workflows.
Experience in dry-dock operations, shipyard coordination, and multi-contractor project environments.
Proficient in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera, or similar) and documentation practices.
Excellent communication and leadership skills, capable of managing multidisciplinary teams in dynamic environments.
PMP (Project Management Professional) or equivalent certification.
Experience with hybrid energy systems, low-emission boiler technologies, or digital boiler controls.
Previous involvement with naval or commercial shipyard integration projects.
Familiarity with SOLAS Part D, MARPOL Annex VI, and ASME BPVC for marine boilers.
