The Senior Manager, Technical & Newbuild Sourcing leads strategic procurement for shipbuilding projects, technical equipment, engineering services, and major vessel-related investments. Requirements typically include a bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, engineering, or a related field, along with significant experience in strategic sourcing, construction, marine operations, or capital projects. Strong negotiation, supplier-management, contract, budgeting, and project leadership skills are expected. The successful candidate should be comfortable working with engineering, shipyard, finance, legal, and operations teams, managing complex bids, reducing costs, protecting quality, and meeting demanding newbuild schedules. Travel and experience with international suppliers or cruise ship projects may be required.
Carnival Corporation & plc is one of the world’s largest leisure travel companies and the leading cruise operator. Its portfolio includes well-known brands such as Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, Cunard, Costa Cruises, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises, and P&O Cruises Australia. The company operates a large fleet visiting destinations across the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, Asia, Australia, and other regions. Carnival employs a diverse international workforce across ships, offices, ports, shipyards, and destination operations. Its Miami-based corporate teams support fleet development, procurement, finance, technology, marketing, guest services, and global business strategy. The company focuses on delivering memorable holidays while improving operational efficiency, safety, sustainability, and the design of future cruise ships.
An onboard cruise role offers a distinctive lifestyle rather than life on one permanent island. Technical sourcing staff are generally office-based in Miami, with possible travel to shipyards, suppliers, ports, and vessels worldwide. Cruise-related opportunities include procurement, marine operations, engineering, hotel services, entertainment, food and beverage, guest relations, and corporate support. Shipboard culture is highly international, structured, and team-oriented, while corporate life in Miami is multicultural and commercially focused. Employees may enjoy travel benefits, crew facilities, and discounted cruises, but shipboard roles can involve long hours and extended time away from home. For Miami-based positions, candidates normally need authorization to work in the United States; employer sponsorship is role-dependent. Relocation may involve arranging housing, transportation, insurance, and local work documentation. Ship assignments require company-approved visas, medical clearance, background checks, and travel documents.
