About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Provide subject matter expertise and technical advice in support of navigation and ship handling simulations, including scenario development, execution, and analysis
- Support client activities by translating real-world maritime operations into credible simulation inputs, behaviours, and constraints
- Perform duties as a qualified Bridge Watchkeeper, ensuring simulation outputs reflect current operational best practices and regulatory compliance, including COLREGs and STCW
- Apply advanced ship handling knowledge to validate and inform simulation scenarios across open ocean, coastal, confined waters, and port approaches
- Operate and provide expert guidance on ECDIS, Radar/ARPA, GPS, integrated bridge systems, AIS, and voyage planning tools
- Support the development and conduct of simulations, trials, and studies, including post-simulation analysis and reporting
- Contribute operational expertise to engineering studies, concept development, and capability assessments involving navigation and maneuvering
- Provide insight into human factors and bridge team behaviors related to simulated operations
- Train, mentor, and support team members on practical navigation considerations within simulation environments
- Maintain professional and technical knowledge through ongoing certification, training, and awareness of evolving navigation technologies and simulation practices
- Conduct reviews and provide assurance that simulation outputs and navigation-related deliverables meet client expectations and operational realism
- Contribute to internal innovation and business development activities requiring simulation and operational navigation expertise
Requirements
What you’ll need- Minimum of 10 years practical experience in ship handling, maritime navigation and/or pilotage of large seagoing vessels (e.g., cruise ships, tankers, naval platforms)
- Valid Bridge Watchkeeper Certificate of Competency (STCW compliant)
- Extensive experience with Electronic Navigation Systems (ECDIS, Radar/ARPA, AIS, GPS, integrated bridge systems), including their representation and use in simulated environments
- Ability to translate real-world operational practices into credible simulation inputs, constraints, and performance measures
- Understanding of bridge team dynamics within simulated and real-world operations
- Strong analytical skills for interpreting simulation results and providing actionable insights to clients
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in explaining complex operational behaviours within technical studies
- Strong leadership, teamwork and stakeholder engagement skills across multidisciplinary project teams
- Experience with bridge simulators (full mission or part-task trainers) or maritime modelling/simulation tools
- Experience in complex ship towing operations
- Familiarity with how vessel design characteristics influence maneuvering performance and simulation fidelity
- Experience contributing to marine assurance, safety cases, or operational risk assessments
- Eligible for US security clearance
- Travel to other BMT offices or client sites will be required (international and domestic)
