Our volunteers are the heart of our global community. They guide our strategic direction, improve professional standards, and contribute to our trusted technical voice at key international forums.
As an IMarEST volunteer, you can support your community and help inspire the next generation of marine professionals. Volunteering is also a great way to raise your profile, expand your impact, gain CDP, and support your career progression.
92% of our volunteers say that their IMarEST roles make a positive difference. So, why not find a role that matches your expertise and experience and join our network of marine professionals changing the sector for the better?
Becoming an IMarEST volunteer at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) puts you at the heart of maritime policy. You gain first access to the information and insight about how this sector is about to be transformed. It’s also great to meet the other people who are thinking from that perspective. I'd recommend becoming an IMarEST IMO Representative as a great opportunity to learn, engage, and shape policy for a huge range of technical topics in the maritime world.
