Description du poste

Newbuilding Site Superintendent

Tugboat building assignments internationally

Do you have some experience with shipbuilding and enjoy contributing to complex newbuilding projects in an international environment? Do you thrive at the intersection of engineering, quality, stakeholder management and hands-on project execution? And would you like to see the vessels you help build go on to support critical port operations around the world?

At Svitzer, we keep global trade moving by delivering safe and reliable towage and marine services around the world. We are now looking for a Newbuilding Site Superintendent to join our Projects & Engineering Support team and support the delivery of the next generation of tugboats to our global operations. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to further develop a career within vessel newbuilding. Working alongside experienced Site Managers, you will gain hands-on exposure to all phases of the newbuilding process, from construction and inspections through to testing, commissioning and vessel delivery.

The role is anchored in Copenhagen, but your workplace will primarily be at international shipyards where our new vessels are being constructed. Assignments may take place in different parts of the world and typically range from several months to up to three years. As projects progress, you can expect to move from one shipyard assignment to the next. This role is therefore best suited to someone who thrives in an international and mobile working environment.

About us

Svitzer is a leading global towage operator with 4,500 colleagues and a fleet of 510 vessels operating across more than 35 countries. Every day, we help keep ports open, terminals operating and global trade moving through safe, reliable and increasingly sustainable marine services.

We offer

Joining Svitzer means becoming part of a global organisation where collaboration, trust and accountability are valued as highly as technical expertise.

In this role, you will work alongside experienced maritime professionals and gain hands-on experience across all aspects of vessel newbuilding. From inspections and quality follow-up to testing, commissioning and delivery, you will play an important role in projects that directly support Svitzer's future fleet.

The role offers a unique combination of technical depth, international exposure and professional development. Over time, you will build the experience, knowledge and network needed to take on increasing responsibility within vessel newbuilding projects.

More about the role

Reporting to Esben Grundtvig, Head of Projects & Engineering Support, you will become part of a collaborative and internationally diverse team responsible for delivering new vessels to Svitzer's operations worldwide.

The team combines strong technical expertise with a pragmatic and supportive approach. We share knowledge openly, help one another succeed and work together to solve complex challenges across projects, regions and cultures.

You will work closely with experienced Site Managers and support the day-to-day coordination and follow-up of newbuilding activities at the shipyard. Through hands-on involvement and mentorship, you will gain broad exposure to vessel construction and project execution while developing the capabilities needed to take on greater responsibility over time.

As described, our Site Managers and Superintendents typically move from one assignment to the next as projects progress. At the same time, you will be employed on standard onshore terms and remain part of the broader Svitzer organisation throughout your assignments.

Key responsibilities

As Newbuilding Site Superintendent, you will:

• Support the Site Manager in the day-to-day supervision and coordination of newbuilding activities at the shipyard.

• Maintain project records and assist with preparation of operation manuals and handover documentation.
