Do you have a couple of years’ experience with Marine operational experience including management as seagoing engineer / nautical? Or worked as a Superintendent?

Do you have experience with various responsibilities within the scope of tugboats? Do you enjoy cooperating with colleagues and multiple stakeholders? Do you thrive in an international environment? Do you like a vibe of engaged, professional colleagues where things rarely stand still but at the same time value a good work-life balance? If this is so you may be our new colleague for the technical superintendent role in our Scandinavian team. 
 

We are looking for a new colleague to join a small team with engaged and professional colleagues in our regional head office in Gothenburg. You will support the technical activities within the Scandinavian cluster and support the M&R of our vessels to ensure the maximum up-time. You will also assist with budget preparation, maintenance and repair records, recording and ordering of parts.

We are located in Nya Varvet in Gothenburg. We have fun, we are dedicated, move fast and believe the 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.

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 have customers in 30+ countries across four Regions: Australia, AMEA, Europe and America. 

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. 

The Marine and Towage business can be challenging, and we work together to improve, e.g., have high ambitions for decarbonisation. Our Svitzer Transverse Tug is a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPdhKsJu3fk (Time to watch: 1 minute and 55 seconds)
