James Francis | Project & Offshore Operations Manager
Alcatel Submarine Networks

I joined Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) in Greenwich in 2019, first working as a Cable Route Engineer designing the routes and pre-installation surveys of ASN supplied cable systems in many different parts of the world. Following this and after working briefly offshore on ASN’s Cable Ship the C/S Ile de Sein, I moved to the Marine Data Team based in Suresnes, France where I worked more on the operational side of the company, which included assisting the teams onboard the vessels, reviewing planned operations, and following up on maintenance & installation based reporting and data. As of mid-2024, I have been working as a Project & Offshore Operations Manager for vessels based in the Atlantic Ocean as part of ASN’s marine maintenance solution in the region.
