Job description

Position: Purchasing Officer (internally referred to as Fleet Support Officer)

Location: Glasgow

Department: Operations

Reports To: Lead Fleet Support Officer

Position Summary

We are hiring a Fleet Support Officer to join our team in Glasgow. In this role, you will be responsible for providing reliable, day‑to‑day support to our fleet teams. Your priority will be to help the operation run smoothly through managing purchasing and logistics, so our vessels receive the parts, materials and services they need on time. You will work closely with Vessel Managers and other shore teams to ensure issues are dealt with quickly and that our processes support safe and efficient vessel operations.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will handle the full purchasing process for your assigned vessels, from sourcing and ordering to coordinating delivery and managing invoices. You’ll manage logistics to make sure spares and consumables reach the vessels when required, and you’ll arrange service attendances and repairs, both planned and unplanned. You will support dry‑dock planning, work with shipyards, vendors and classification societies, and keep our systems up to date with accurate information. The role also involves contributing to budget planning, managing disbursements and cash‑to‑master requests, and ensuring compliance with our procurement procedures. Above all, you are there to support the operation by responding quickly, solving problems and keeping everything moving, keeping collaboration and customer‑service at the heart of everything you do.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with previous purchasing experience, as a Buyer or similar. We’re seeking someone with strong attention to detail and who is comfortable managing different streams of work in an efficient, organised way. You should be happy to be part of a high‑performing team and take pride in the part you play in supporting safe, efficient vessel operations. Good communication and a customer‑focused approach are essential, as you’ll work directly with Vessel Managers and other operational teams. You should be comfortable using IT systems and able to make practical, informed decisions. Experience in maritime or technical operations is helpful but not essential.

What We Offer

At Seapeak, you’ll join a global team that plays a key role in safely delivering energy worldwide. We work in a culture built on accountability, safety and respect, where people are encouraged to contribute ideas and support each other’s success. You’ll be part of a diverse, international organisation with opportunities to learn, develop and build your career. We believe our people are our greatest asset, and we want to give our people a great place to work! We are committed to creating a workplace where you feel supported, rewarded and empowered to thrive. Here is what you can expect from us:

• Hybrid working. Although you are welcome to work in our Finnieston office full time, you are able to work from home up to 2 days per week after completing your probationary period.
• 36 days’ annual leave inclusive of public holidays, raising to 41 with continued service.
• Private health, dental, and travel cover.
• Annual bonus programme.
• Cash allowance used to promote employee wellbeing.
• Up to 9% employer pension contributions.
• Life assurance equivalent to four times your annual salary.
• Enhanced family friendly and company sick leave/pay.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice car scheme.
• Season ticket loan scheme.
• Employee assistance programme.
• Up to 3 additional days’ leave to promote Seapeak’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) – use these days for things such as volunteer work or to celebrate a significant life event or a religious/cultural holiday.
