What employers look forFrom the Owner's Representative guide
Owners and management companies hire people they trust, and trust comes from a track record. Most reps are former captains, chief engineers or naval architects with at least one new build behind them. Yard-side experience as a project manager also counts. Recruiters look for clear written reports, firm but calm negotiation and enough technical depth to know when a yard is bluffing. Discretion matters: you will know the owner's budget, family and plans better than almost anyone.
