HR Crewing Assistant

Do you have a couple of years' experience with crewing and/or HR? Do you have experience with various responsibilities within the scope of crewing/HR? 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? You may be our new colleague for a HR Crewing Assistant role in our crewing team.

We are looking for a HR Crewing Assistant to join a small team with engaged and professional crewing colleagues in our office in Svendborg. In this role you will be key in the successful manning of all of our tugs in the cluster (Denmark, Sweden & Germany) and the smooth operation of our local office in Svendborg. The role is key to creating good engagement and thriving people on our tugs, as well as in the office. The role is employee facing and is key to creating a good employment experience for our offshore crew.

We are located in Svendborg Maritime Erhvervspark. 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)

Svitzer is part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, and the way we do business is governed by our values: Constant Care, Humbleness, Uprightness, Our Employees and Our Name.

We Offer

In Svitzer, we have a lean and flat structure where you will interact with Senior Stakeholders weekly. We enjoy leading with care and learning from each other.

We offer a truly international environment with a professional, engaged, ambitious, yet relaxed atmosphere where we value diversity. As mentioned, we welcome flexibility, i.e., working from home as and when needed (but this role requires you to be in the office most of the time). Also, we welcome when colleagues proactively seek out opportunities for development by participating in cross-collaboration, a project or other opportunities that may arise.

The Position

The position is a full time employment and we offer a competitive salary and benefits package with an annual bonus scheme.
