Job Responsibilities
As a pilot operator, you will work with receiving pilot orders and distributing pilot assignments, recording service times, vessel arrival and departure times, as well as handling ongoing administrative tasks related to the pilotage process. At times, the work pace is high, and you are expected to manage multiple events simultaneously. Sometimes conditions change at short notice, and you must quickly revise your planning.

Pilot planning is currently conducted from Värtaterminalen in Stockholm, with an area of responsibility from Oxelösund to Kalix.

It is important that you can express yourself well in both spoken and written Swedish and English, as well as having good computer skills and easily managing various IT systems. It is an advantage if you have education in maritime studies and/or experience in the maritime field. A degree in Ship Command Class VIII is an advantage. Education in logistics is also an advantage. It is also beneficial if you have experience in service work of any kind, preferably within logistics, and if you have previous experience as a pilot operator.

We place great importance on your personal qualities. We are looking for someone who is good at planning, is stress-resistant, and can make quick decisions and prioritize when conditions change. You are communicative and passionate about providing excellent service to our customers. Since you will be responsible for operations together with a team of several pilot operators, teamwork, solution focus, and a strong sense of responsibility are very important qualities.
