We are Marine People.

Our story

Marine People was created to help support an industry suffering from a desperate talent shortage and skills gap. Top specialist shipbuilding talent was, and still is, hard to come by.

Since 2017, in partnership with IMarEST, we’ve been on a mission to find the best shipbuilding talent globally, giving our clients a competitive edge, and our candidates guidance and advice to find the right opportunities at the right companies. In that time, we have successfully placed candidates in major shipyards all over the world. Something that we’re entrusted to do for the largest shipbuilders globally.

At the heart of our agency is a team of industry experts who not only understand the intricacies of shipbuilding recruitment, but also recognise the unique qualities that set top talent apart. Our dedicated recruiters work tirelessly to identify, evaluate, and connect professionals with opportunities that align with their skills, experience, and aspirations.

Partnering with excellence: Our IMarEST affiliation

Our commitment to upholding the highest standards in the shipbuilding industry is deeply ingrained in our partnership with IMarEST (Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology).

As a recognised member, we gain exclusive access to IMarEST’s vast network of skilled professionals, ensuring we stay at the leading edge of industry trends, knowledge, and advancements. We actively participate in IMarEST’s initiatives, shaping the future of the shipbuilding sector and its workforce.

For clients, our IMarEST connection assures that we source candidates whose qualifications and expertise align with the institute’s rigorous standards.
