Technical Superintendent Dredging

Make your mark as technical superintendent for our modern and versatile dredging fleet! The optimization of our fleet is a continuous process whereby we not only invest in new build, but also ensure that the fleet is kept technically shipshape.

Your responsibilities as Technical Superintendent:

• Analyze and improve vessel performance in collaboration with the onboard crew.
• Generate reports on technical and operational performance to identify areas of optimization for the ships.
• Provide technical support during critical incidents or issues onboard.
• Maintain an up-to-date record of planned ship repairs, including ongoing repairs, damages, and modifications.
• Ensure proper allocation of costs and monitor the overall performance of assigned vessels, while adhering to technical and safety standards, and suggesting improvements for the safety of colleagues and the environment.
