At Eastern Pacific Shipping, I run officer recruitment for the Ukraine manning office, from sourcing and screening through verification, fleet proposals and onboarding. I lead a small recruitment team and launched the EPS Cadet Program in Ukraine to build a home-grown pipeline of future officers.

I’ve introduced AI workflows to auto-fill OFC06 application forms and generate candidate proposals with online vessel-data checks. I also produce crew-demand forecasts aligned with fleet plans and built salary benchmarks for ETO / Electrical Engineers and a Fitter study across dry, wet and LPG fleets.
