Svitzer is a towage company, which means we help our customers maneuver their larger ships safely and timely in and out of port. We operate globally. Most of our business is to support container vessels, cargo ships, cruise ships and navy vessels but we also attend to emergencies like vessels being adrift or offshore fires. Technology as a strong partner to different business areas is key in making the operations run efficiently and to innovate the future of Svitzer. We are on an exciting journey shaping the future of Technology in Svitzer and defining our role in innovating this industry. I hope to get a chance to meet you and share more good stories about our role in making the global supply chain run smoothly.

You will ensure that the changes on the applications are implemented together with our vendors and comply with our security and architecture guidelines.

You and your IT delivery manager colleagues are usually involved in different delivery areas but work closely together and help each other out. Mutual respect, collaboration and fun is important in our team. You will notice a true international feel day to day, where your colleagues in the global technology organization are based in Australia, Americas, Dubai, UK and Denmark, however with many more nationalities than this. English is our main business language, and your working days vary between virtual meetings and in-person interactions, and at times you might be traveling to meet in person with remote teams.

Your main location will be together with Svitzer headquarters at Amaliegade 44 in the heart of Copenhagen and part of a wider Maersk campus. You will have access to the fitness center and classes, occasional Friday bars and can look forward to our canteens that serve delicious and healthy breakfast and lunch.

We can see you as a great teammate with a can-do attitude focusing on business value that can be unlocked via technology, however with a cost-conscious mindset driving down cost through removal of waste in the process and a keen eye on how we can automate further.
