Just Be Maritime is delighted to welcome Erin Higgins to our growing team in the role of Maritime Recruitment Officer.
After initially achieving vocational qualifications in Beauty Therapy and Business Administration, Erin gained sea service experience with Carnival Cruise Line before moving ashore into office administration with CTS Europe in 2015, progressing to become the company’s purchasing lead.
From 2018 to 2021, Erin worked as a Business Support Executive at National Museum of the Royal Navy, covering a range of commercial support and administrative functions.
In January 2022, Erin joined Chiltern Maritime as an Assistant Training Officer, supporting administrative duties on behalf of the Officer Cadets under training. Advancing to a Training Officer role in May 2022, she then took on responsibility for the ongoing management of the cadets during their three-year training programmes.
In August 2024, Erin was promoted to Senior Careers & Training Coordinator, holding responsibility for the effective placement of cadets for sea service placements and involving direct liaison with shipping companies, training providers and cadets.
As our Maritime Recruitment Officer, Erin’s primary focus will be supporting the initial recruitment, selection and onboarding of Officer Cadets, engaging closely with both the cadets and their sponsoring companies.
Erin said “I am really looking forward to building on my previous experience in cadet recruitment and working closely with both our maritime clients and the Officer Cadets. It is especially rewarding to see our cadets progress from their initial recruitment through their three-year cadetship and then gain their first MCA Certificate of Competency.”
