It will depend on the level and nature of the role you are interested in. If a degree is a requirement, it will usually be stated in the job description. However, a candidate who does not hold a degree may still be considered for one of our professional vacancies if substantial, relevant experience can be demonstrated.

It depends on the position you are interested in. Many technical roles require you to have spent time in a similar job and environment, while other positions may require less specific experience. Most of our commercial opportunities are based on generic business skill sets which do not always require industry experience.

We encourage you to explore roles that align with your skills and career aspirations. Consider positions where your experience and interests can make the most impact.

Please include your latest CV and cover letter which we will review as part of your application. Should your contact details change please keep us informed. Dependant on the role you are applying for, you might be asked to submit specific role-related certificates.

We are aware that fraudulent recruitment scams are becoming an increasing problem in the industries in which we operate and that individuals and organisations have falsely claimed to represent James Fisher in a bid to gain money. 

Please note that James Fisher and Sons plc will never make demands from applicants for money transfers or payments. 

If you have any concerns, please email recruitment@james-fisher.com with details.

If you are unable to find the position you were applying for, it has most likely reached its closing date and been removed from view. Please note that James Fisher reserves the right to close jobs before the advertised closing date. As such, we advise candidates to submit their applications early in order to avoid disappointment.

After submitting your application for a vacancy on our site, you should receive an automated email from our applicant tracking system ‘Eploy’, acknowledging your application. If you have not received a confirmation email, check your 'junk' or 'spam' email folder to ensure it has not been filed there.

Verify that the email address on your application/CV is correct.

Generally, applications are reviewed after the specified closing date. If a role is advertised for an immediate start, you may hear from us sooner.

At James Fisher we are committed to taking positive action on diversity, and we strongly encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds. As a proud Disability Confident employer, we ensure that candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum criteria for the role are offered an interview.

Due to the volume of applications we receive, we regret it is not always possible to supply feedback to individual candidates at the application stage. However, if you have attended an interview or assessment centre, we will provide feedback and an update as soon as we are able to.

We try to interview face to face wherever possible, however we can accommodate MS Teams for interviews where appropriate.
