At Windcat, we have been at the forefront of providing specialist crew transfer vessels to the offshore industry for over two decades. With a growing fleet of over 55 vessels and even more vessels in build, including the new MK5 series, we are one of the largest CTV operators in the industry. We are adding a new vessel type to our fleet to offer safety and comfort for up to 120 people: five Elevation Series CSOVs are currently underway. The first of these innovative vessels is expected to launch in 2025, completing our existing CTV fleet.

Our offices in Lowestoft (UK) and IJmuiden (the Netherlands) support the operation of our vessels across multiple sites and collaborates with local partners across Europe.

Windcat is a family that stands for pioneering experience, efficiency, trust and service, for a sustainable future. Ultimately, the way of working and the people at Windcat is what makes us stand out!

Windcat is a part of CMB.TECH, a shipping and cleantech company that develops, builds, owns and operates large marine and industrial applications that can run on hydrogen or ammonia. Therefore, we build all our new vessels to run on hydrogen, marking a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions.

We continue to grow and maintain the leading position in the market with the continuous development of the company and expansion of our talented, passionate, and enthusiastic teams. To do this we are looking for a Work Preparer / Project Assistant, to join our new build technical team, whose expertise in supervising all facets of design and construction of new vessels are critical to the success of our long-term plans.
