You work closely with the operational crews in collaboration with the District Manager.

You are responsible for keeping the maintenance system updated and working on continuous improvements to increase the availability of our vessels. Part of the work involves ensuring that materials for both strategic and corrective maintenance are available on-site, and that routines and documentation are up to date.

You are goal- and solution-oriented and driven by development and continuous improvements. You have high integrity and an ethical and moral approach.
