Technical Superintendent | Svendborg, Denmark
We’re a 90-year-old family-owned tanker company and we need someone who actually enjoys getting their hands dirty with dry-dockings, PMS, and shipyard negotiations — not just managing spreadsheets from afar.

Key Responsibilities
▸ Plan, coordinate and follow up on ship inspections, repairs and dry-dockings
▸ Monitor and maintain the technical condition of assigned vessels
▸ Oversee maintenance planning and execution in accordance with PMS
▸ Prepare and manage technical budgets; track expenditure and cost deviations
▸ Liaise with shipyards, suppliers and class societies
▸ Ensure compliance with ISM, MARPOL, SOLAS and ISO 14001 requirements
▸ Participate in emergency response and incident investigations
Qualifications
✔ Seagoing experience as Chief Engineer on tankers preferred
✔ Solid knowledge of ship inspections, dry-docking and repair processes
✔ Budget planning and financial acumen
✔ Administrative skills; experience from a similar shore-based position is an advantage
✔ Proficiency in English, both written and spoken — Danish is not required
✔ Structured, self-motivated and results-oriented mindset
We offer
▸ A key position in a family-owned shipping company with a flat structure
▸ An international team welcoming candidates of all nationalities
▸ A diverse fleet and international trading area
▸ Professional development and a collaborative team environment
▸ Competitive salary and conditions
