Student Assistant – Svitzer Group Finance

Svitzer offers an exciting opportunity as Student Assistant in our Group Finance department where you will be part of an ambitious team supporting the Global Finance function. We are looking for a proactive and motivated student assistant with great analytical skills, who can support our team in delivering timely, accurate and insightful reporting for the benefit of the team and our stakeholders.

As our new student assistant, you will be exposed to various functions within Finance with the main focus on Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) tasks. With your analytical skills you will among others drive the monthly reporting process. You will be working in an international environment, where you will be exposed to various senior stakeholders.  

We are located in Nordhavn where we have fun, are dedicated, move fast and believe there needs to be space for a life outside of work. We enjoy knowledge sharing, challenging status quo, coming up with new ideas, and having freedom as an effect of taking responsibility. The Towage business can be challenging, and we work together to improve. As an example, we have high ambitions for decarbonisation, which our Svitzer Transverse Tug is a result of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPdhKsJu3fk (Time to watch: 1 minute and 55 seconds)

Who we are

Svitzer is a leading Global Towage Operator providing towage and sustainable marine solutions to make ports and terminals safer, more efficient and more climate friendly. We operate in 30+ countries across four Regions: Australia, AMEA, Americas and Europe, and have above 4,000 employees and more than 450 vessels to safely service more than 150 ports and terminals across the globe.

In recent years, we have grown through new contracts and acquisitions, and growing continues to be a focus. At the same time, we are implementing our new Strategy, which prioritises Decarbonization and Technology. However, our standard marine services remain critical to us.

We operate globally 24/7, which means that things rarely stand still. However, we are good at manoeuvring being busy, as we enjoy working as a team by listening to and helping each other. We also appreciate when colleagues voice their opinions.

We have recently embarked on a new journey as we became a separately listed company on the Danish stock exchange in April 2024.
