JACK BAKER
LEAD RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT
I graduated from the University of Chichester with a 2:1 in Sports Therapy, which obviously led me to a role in Marine recruitment! I joined Navis Consulting soon after finishing university in 2017 and quickly got up to speed with the Marine Engineering market, covering a wide range of skill sets from Boat Builders to Project Managers. I have built an expansive client and candidate network across multiple sectors and have been lucky enough to travel throughout the UK, Netherlands and Germany as part of my role. I am experienced in both permanent and contract recruitment and have been successful in both throughout my time at Navis.
