About Damen Services
Damen Services is the dedicated service provider and trusted lifecycle partner for Damen customers worldwide. We support customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their vessels and onboard systems, from commissioning and maintenance to repairs, upgrades, warranty support and life-extension solutions.
With more than 300 professionals operating globally and a growing network of regional service hubs, Damen Services combines global expertise with local presence. As part of our continued growth strategy, Damen Services has recently strengthened its position in the United Kingdom through the acquisition of IME Repair services Ltd ( Southampton) , a respected provider of electrical, mechanical and marine services.
This marks the start of an exciting new chapter and creates a unique opportunity to build a leading integrated maritime services organization in the UK.
Lead the next phase of growth for Damen Services UK
Following the recent acquisition of IME Repair services Ltd, Damen Services is building an integrated UK service organization with approximately 40 employees. We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Head of Services UK to lead the business through its next stage of growth. Reporting to the Area Service Manager Europe, you will have overall responsibility for business performance, operational delivery, customer relationships and organisational development across our UK operations.

Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers offer growing possibilities in the areas of trade, food, energy and recreation. To ensure global prosperity for next generations and keep the earth habitable with an ever-increasing population, it is essential to utilise and protect these possibilities as efficiently and responsibly as possible.
Damen provides unprecedented maritime solutions for this, through design, shipbuilding, ship repair and related services. We offer versatile platforms that enable our customers to be successful and that raise the standard in terms of safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability. We want to become the most sustainable shipbuilders in the world.
In the previous century, we revolutionized shipbuilding. Thanks to standardisation, we were able to supply our customers with better ships, faster. More than 90 years and 6,500 ships later, the importance of standardisation is only increasing in the light of zero-emissions and digitalisation.
We do not build our ships alone, but together with an extensive network from the international maritime cluster. We firmly believe in the power of sharing. It means that we also use our craftsmanship to build platforms on production facilities that are not ours. In this way, through knowledge transfer, we not only contribute to better, safer and more eco-friendly ships, but also to sustainable local development and prosperity.
We are a family owned business and stand for fellowship, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship and stewardship. Our playing field is the world. Our horizon is the long term. We firmly believe in our team, but also in the strength of the individual. Each colleague is an entrepreneur, focused on ensuring truly satisfied clients and making our contribution to a better world. In every aspect of our business the next generation is our starting point.
