Shore Coordinator

You can make your mark at projects located throughout the world, from Asia, Middle East, and Brazil to Greece or Germany. The working atmosphere within Smit Salvage is informal and is characterized by teamwork, professionalism, and entrepreneurship. You are up for a challenge, you like adventure 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. You will also make agreements (financial and otherwise) with local suppliers to facilitate contractual requirements with our customer. At the end of the project, you will manage the return logistic of the salvage equipment and the financial completion of the project by reporting on costs to Smit management and the customer.

Your responsibilities as a Shore Coordinator

• You will be responsible on the project location for the establishment of a logistical organization as well as for financial reporting on costs.
• Because of the ad hoc nature of the projects and the wide variety of project locations, the emphasis in this role will be on logistical organization. You will be the person with local responsibility for the logistical organization of colleagues (accommodation, transport) and equipment (customs, transport, procurement).
• You know what is happening on the project and have complete oversight into all commitments. You will draft straightforward financial reports on location that will be discussed with external and internal stakeholders. For this task, you will receive support from the office location.
• On a project, certain items or services are best procured locally for which the Shore Coordinator is responsible.
