• Taking into account experience, certifications, and project requirements
• Identifying shortages or surpluses in staffing and contributing to solutions
• Ensuring a fair distribution of experience and opportunities within teams
• Discussing career growth and development opportunities for crew members together with HR

In short: you maintain oversight in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same.

Our client is an international maritime organization based in Essen.

• Clear and friendly communication skills, with a good sense of humor
• The confidence to make decisions and take responsibility, always with respect and situational awareness
• Fluency in spoken and written English; knowledge of Dutch is a plus
• A willingness to travel occasionally, for example to vessels or our office in Delft

Excited about what lies ahead? There’s more:

• A permanent contract from day one, allowing you to build your future with confidence
• A competitive salary starting from €3,500 gross, complemented by attractive fringe benefits
