About this Role

This is a hands-on opportunity to make a real difference in the heart of our operations.

  • Support crew engagement and development, leading initiatives that enhance team culture and career pathways.
  • Act as the first point of contact for crew-related queries, supporting engagement and welfare.
  • Drive adoption of crew planning tools to ensure efficiency and support fatigue management rules.
  • Partner with the Port Manager and Operations Manager to coordinate timely recruitment and onboarding of qualified crew.
  • Serve as the primary liaison with Ports Victoria and regional port authorities (Geelong and Westernport), ensuring strong relationships and operational alignment.
  • 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.
  • Promote a strong safety culture and uphold Svitzer's safety standards across all activities.

About You

  • A background in the maritime sector, preferably with experience in shore-based marine operations.
  • An understanding of classification societies and statutory bodies is beneficial.
  • A collaborative attitude and proactive approach are essential, along with great time management skills and confident communication.
