Commercial Manager Salvage

2 weeks ago

Singapore Boskalis Full time

How you can make your mark:

As a Commercial Manager you will make your mark in the adventurous yet highly professional world of salvage (emergency response and wreck removal).

You will enter into contracts with parties such as blue chip shipping or offshore companies and port authorities, and will actively generate new business.

In short, you will identify opportunities in the areas of emergency response, wreck removal and consultancy aimed at the mitigating further exposure due to shipping accidents, environmental damage and reputational damage.

In the role of Commercial Manager you will conduct negotiations with clients and ultimately seal the deal.

Naturally you will be sensitive towards the client's needs at all times, but at the same time you will never lose sight of the commercial interests of SMIT Salvage and the Boskalis parent company.


Your work as a Commercial Manager does not end when the contract is concluded; you will also maintain supervision during the execution stage of the project.

You will identify budget variances and other divergences, make adjustments where necessary and negotiate with the client regarding any new price agreements or variation orders.

Your duties will also include the financial settlement, as well as the overall project settlement with subcontractors, arbitrations, payments and claims.


Given the unpredictability of the powers of the ocean there is no such thing as an 'average' workday for a Commercial Manager.

After all, you never know when and where a vessel might run into trouble, or exactly how a salvage operation or wreck removal will play out.

Your work may take you anywhere in the world and needless to say will not always take place during office hours.

  • To identify new opportunities and openings both for new business and for variation orders with existing clients.
