Job description

As a Maintenance Engineer, you are the driving force behind the technical preparation of maintenance and repair activities across our fleet of vessels. You prepare and coordinate maintenance, repair, and improvement projects for our diverse fleet, ensuring vessels can operate safely, efficiently, and reliably. Working on a wide variety of vessels and technologies, no two challenges are the same, offering a unique opportunity to broaden your technical expertise and make a direct impact on fleet performance and reliability. Depending on your specialty and strength you can focus on either electrical, mechanical, general construction scope or specifically on dredging or offshore systems. All related to our vessels and how they are best maintained and repaired. This role is to be performed for our Headquarters in Belgium, with occasional travels to vessels and docking sites. This is not a sea going role, nor is it a role in rotations.

Responsibilities

Prepare and address technical problems, including repair methods, budgeting, resourcing, and safety checks. Deliver fully prepared technical fiches/plans and documents ready for execution. Analyze recurring issues and propose technical improvements in collaboration with the reliability team. Provide technical advice to procurement and support negotiations with subcontractors. Conduct on-site visits to ships for assessments and preparation. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure smooth operations. Stay informed about the latest technical innovations.

Profile

You hold a Masters degree in a technical engineering field, preferably related to marine or industrial engineering. You have a minimum of 3 years fulltime professional experience in a similar role. You demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You shows technical knowledge and interest in vessel systems and operations. You are a technical generalist or specialist with the ability to adapt across various challenges. You excels at teamwork and collaboration with diverse teams. You are living in Belgium or prepared to relocate to Belgium and are flexible and willing to travel occasionally for short business trips (80% HQ-based, 20% travel).

Our offer

A stimulating, innovative workplace with numerous growth opportunities. A people-oriented environment with an interactive health program and a focus on employee wellbeing. An extensive mobility program for a healthy work-life balance. A permanent training track which allows you to develop yourself personally and professionally.
