Job Requisition ID: JR2369

Senior Technical Manager

Are you enthusiastic about working in a truly global company? Do you thrive in an environment with complex challenges and many stakeholders? Are you an experienced maritime technical professional with project management skills? Then this opportunity could be your perfect next step

We are looking for a Senior Technical Manager to join our Technical Organisation team in our Headquarters in Nordhavn, Copenhagen. You will be Project Manager for technical and operational priority projects in Svitzer as well as supporting our frontline operations with critical technical and operational issues.

Who we are

At Svitzer, we are global leaders in towage and sustainable marine solutions, operating in more than 35 countries with over 450 vessels and a team of 4,000 dedicated professionals. Our mission? Enhancing port and terminal safety and decarbonisation while boosting operational efficiency.

We have experienced significant growth through new contracts and acquisitions, and we continue to expand our horizons. Our company is on an exciting journey, exploring new digital and environmentally friendly products and partnerships to pave the way for a cleaner, greener future in towage.

At Svitzer, we prioritise people. Joining us means becoming part of an international community with a professional, ambitious, yet relaxed atmosphere. With a flat and lean organisational structure, we foster a collaborative, inclusive, and enjoyable working environment.

We offer

Reporting to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), this position offers the opportunity to combine maritime expertise with business and project management acumen in a dynamic and international environment. The Global Technical Organisation is a part of our Global Operations.

You will become part of an organisation where there is a high level of trust in our people and a culture with significant mandate to make things happen and impact the performance of our company.

Key responsibilities

As a Senior Technical Manager you will have two primary roles:

  1. You will be Project Manager for some of our strategic and critical priorities in Global Operations as well as some of the Svitzer Global Priorities. This is a high impact role with direct influence on key performance and deliverables affecting our business, our people and our customers.
  2. You will also provide fleet technical and operational support to our frontline on critical issues and challenges, helping our Regional and Local teams be the best they can be. This role will also include being a focal point with select key vendors and industry stakeholders and staying informed about relevant technical developments in our industry. You must be comfortable working with procedures and management systems and be prepared to take initiatives to help us continuously improve the way we work. In this role you will run a close partnership with our Group Technical Manager, supporting each other to the benefit of our frontline businesses.

As part of the Technical Organisation, you will work closely with almost all functions in Svitzer, both at group level and globally. You must be prepared to be involved in decarbonisation challenges, innovation projects, procurement initiatives, docking processes and more – we are a versatile team where everyone works together on what is best for the company.

Who we are looking for

The ideal candidate holds a relevant technical educational background combined with practical experience in the maritime industry. Maybe you are a Marine Engineer or a Dual Officer who went onshore some years back and have worked in Technical/Operational organisations with a shipowner. Maybe you have a degree in Engineering and have hands on practical experience from docking vessels, new buildings or vessel modifications.

Furthermore, you have proven project management experience. This could be leading complex projects involving assets (new buildings, major upgrades, major dockings etc) but also leading strategic or tactical projects involving cross functional collaboration, complex stakeholders, critical communication and change management skills.

You are a natural team player focused on delivering outcomes to meet team objectives. You are self-driven, curious and with a strong growth mindset. You possess great collaboration skills and a positive attitude, and you are an honest and reliable colleague with integrity. You are persistent by nature and have a thorough approach to problem solving.

Although the role does not have functional leadership, it requires significant leadership skills and mindset. You have to be comfortable with applying indirect leadership across long distance and multiple cultures – and often achieve results through others.

Most importantly, in Svitzer we operate every day in high-risk scenarios. Keeping our people and the people around us safe is our license to operate. We believe that it is human to make mistakes, so our safety philosophy is to work with safety barriers and keep people out of harm's way. You must embed this philosophy in your work and be prepared to be an ambassador for our safety culture.

If you are ready to take on this exciting challenge and make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply latest 15 October and become part of our journey.
