Description

The Port of Lake Charles, Louisiana, is seeking the next Port Director for the nation’s 11th largest tonnage port. This position is available due to a retirement. The selected candidate will head a growing and successful port operation employing over 100 people with diversified activities including economic development projects, coastal rehabilitation programs, and marine terminal operations. Excellent communication skills adaptable to different constituencies in the community, maritime sector, and state and federal governments will be important.

Candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree in a suitable discipline and ten years of progressive experience in the port and maritime industry or equivalent experience in public administration.

Intergovernmental relations skills, strong financial management abilities, and negotiating skills are essential to continuing the capital program and business strategies in the Port’s Strategic Plan. Familiarity with marine maintenance and construction projects, marketing terminal and property holdings, and the relationship of ports to State and Federal transportation activities will round out the successful candidate’s experience.
