Working at Global Marine Group

Our colleagues are at the centre of our success as an organisation, and we are dedicated to their wellbeing, always. Not only does this include physical health & safety, but also mental wellbeing as well as actively encourage and support volunteering opportunities that can help to improve and help our local communities.

Our employees are encouraged to volunteers within their local communities

Volunteering across the globe

Volunteering is really important to us at Global Marine Group. We give each of our employees across the globe up to three days of paid leave to take part in volunteering opportunities within their local communities ensuring that we do our part in giving back.

“The volunteering programme run by the business is a great initiative. It’s an important way to allow staff to showcase and support the issues that are important to them – like we did with the walk challenge for The Motor Neurone Disease Association.

I’ll definitely take part in next year’s big challenge and it’s also planted the seed for doing more community voluntary work in the future as well.” Claire, Finance Business Partner.
