We are looking for a Crewing Officer to join our team in Melbourne on a Full-Time basis. You will bring a strong track record in delivering timely, cost-effective solutions to technical and operational challenges, along with sound experience in budget development and management.

Why You'll Want to Join Us

  • Support cost management of assigned operational budget items, monitoring spend and identifying efficiencies without compromising safety or service.
  • Provide on-the-ground support to crew and vessels in regional ports, resolving day-to-day issues and maintaining operational continuity.
  • Manage procurement of parts and supplies and oversee third-party contractors for vessel and facility maintenance to ensure quality and compliance.
  • Promote a strong safety culture, support incident investigations, and uphold Svitzer's safety standards across all activities.
