Chief Engineer

Do you have a couple of years' experience with off shore vessel engineering? Do you have experience with various responsibilities within the scope of engineering? Do you enjoy cooperating with colleagues and multiple stakeholders? Do you thrive in an international environment? You may be our new colleague for a Chief Engineering position for one of our tugs operating at the Swedish west & east coasts.
 

We offer an independent and exciting position with a lot of responsibility, in an international group. You will have the possibility for many contacts, both within and outside the company. 

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. 

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)
