SMIT Salvage's track record is extensive and has many leading insurers as customers. SMIT Salvage has specialized equipment and expert personnel and is able to respond to incidents worldwide 24/7. This is done from four locations strategically located to the major international shipping routes: Rotterdam, Houston, Cape Town and Singapore. The offices provide a 24-hour link to customers, ships, Boskalis Group offices and agents around the world. The system guarantees an immediate response and fast service. In addition, SMIT Salvage can rely on an extensive worldwide network of cooperation agreements with partners and suppliers.

Working at Boskalis is about creating new horizons and sustainable solutions. In a world where population growth, an increase of global trade, demand for (new) energy and climate change are driving forces, we challenge you to make your mark in finding innovative and relevant solutions for complex infrastructural and marine projects.

Within a vibrant company culture, you will be working as part of a diverse, international team of experts. We offer you the opportunity to realize your full personal potential and expand your professional career by creating new horizons. Together!

You are up for a challenge, you like adventure, the unpredictable and a dynamic international maritime working environment.

As emergency responses to vessels are unplanned, the role requires flexibility for being deployed to a project which could happen anytime, anywhere in the world.

On the project location, the shore coordinator acts as primary local contact for the operational team for logistics and equipment related matters and also financial-related aspects. These matters will vary in complexity depending on the nature of the project and the location.
