Greater London, United Kingdom Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) Full time

The Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) with the recruitment for a Ports & Terminals Group & Digital Technology Group Director to join their team.


About the Society of Maritime Industries (SMI)


The Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) is the trade association for the UK’s maritime engineering and business sector and its broad membership ranges from large prime contractors to SMEs. Member companies select to participate in one, or more, of six sector groups relevant to their activities in commercial marine, maritime defence & security, maritime autonomy, ports and terminal infrastructure, marine science & technology, and maritime digital technology. Each group has a Council of elected members led by one of the Society’s directors/managers and reports to the Society’s governing Board of senior industrialists.

SMI as a membership-based not-for-profit organisation provides a wide range of activities both internationally and in the UK for the benefit of the maritime engineering business community. The members’ interests are represented by our six councils and our activities follow our objectives of presenting members with business opportunities, assisting with research and innovation, lobbying government and NGOs to improve the business environment, facilitating network opportunities and providing marketing and other services.
