• Build immersive, scenario-led digital experiences aligned to real-world maritime operations

Programme Transformation

• Support the large-scale redevelopment of 200+ courses

• Structure content into scalable, repeatable adaptive templates

• Ensure consistency and quality across a high-volume development programme

Stakeholder & SME Collaboration

• Work closely with SMEs to ensure accuracy and realism

• Translate technical simulation content into engaging digital learning

• Contribute to iterative review cycles and refinement

Skillset Required

• Advanced Articulate Storyline development (branching, variables, complex logic essential)

• Proven experience designing adaptive learning solutions

• Instructional design capability

• Experience in maritime, defence, or other highly technical/regulated sectors (desirable)

• Ability to manage and structure high-volume content redevelopment

• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently within a defined SOW

The Reward

This is a significant and high-impact transformation project within a specialist simulation environment. It offers the opportunity to work on immersive, technically complex learning solutions at scale, shaping how maritime professionals are trained globally.
