Scott Ward has
joined
Jensen
Maritime Consultants as a naval architect in the company’s new
office in the New Orleans business district reporting to Jensen General Manager
Sergio Fifi.
Ward comes to
Jensen with a wide variety of experience in design review, project management
and operations. Before joining Jensen he worked at American Bureau of
Shipping, a provider of marine and offshore classification services, in the
machinery and hull departments. He has also worked for North American
Shipbuilding as a naval architect and at Pacific-Gulf Marine as an assistant
technical superintendent.
“We are confident
that Scott will prove to be an asset to the Jensen team and to our clients in
the Gulf,” said Fifi in a company press release. “He is not only an experienced
naval architect, but he has had the opportunity to work on the operations side
of the marine business to learn the implications and value potential of design
decisions.”
Ward earned a
Bachelor of Science degree in naval architecture and marine engineering from
the University of New Orleans.
Jensen, which is
headquartered in Seattle and also has an East Coast office in Jacksonville,
Fla., announced the establishment of a third office in New Orleans last month at 1515
Poydras St., Suite 2030. The company plans to hire another eight to 10 executives
for a variety of positions in the new office. Interested job seekers should

Jensen’s new
office in New Orleans places the company in close proximity to many important
customers and shipyards in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as well as to Crowley’s
Houston-based solutions group, a Project Management
Organization (PMOrg), Jensen says. The solutions group provides marine project
management services as a prime contractor for the energy and resource
extraction industries. Customers in the U.S. gulf whom Jensen is targeting include
regional shipyards and local operators, as well as clients in the offshore oil
and gas, energy, fishing, workboat and brown-water industries.
