Our client is currently looking to expand their operations team with the hire of a Commercial Operator preferably with chemical tanker experience to take responsibility for operating circa 8-10 vessels at any one time.

Whilst chemical experience would be a plus this presents a unique opportunity to be commercially responsible for both bulk and tanker assets.
