The UK is looking for a new chief inspector of marine accidents as Steve Clinch retires at the end of June.
Applications have to be in to the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) by 28 May for a job that pays around £107,000 ($145,000) per year for a 37-hour week.
Clinch took the role in 2010, succeeding Stephen Meyer.
Based in Southampton, the job is described as "challenging, varied and responsible", and accountable to the secretary of state for transport.
"The MAIB makes a vital contribution to the safe operation of the UK’s maritime interests, domestically and around the world," it said.
The chief inspector is tasked with improving safety at sea, discharging the UK’s responsibility for the independent safety investigation of marine accidents, and satisfying all stakeholders that marine accidents are investigated in an exemplary manner, it added.
MAIB has a team of 40 people and a budget of $4m per year.
