Vacant job

We are currently looking for a Mate to join our Fleet Department. We are reaching out to individuals with an interest in technical solutions who want to work with navigation and vessel maintenance of a survey vessel during operation.

Njord Survey was founded in 2015 with the ambition and purpose of bringing cost-effective solutions to the offshore survey industry. We offer high-quality hydrographic and geophysical surveys for navigation, dredging operations, charting, marine construction for renewable energy, and more.

Njord Survey is currently in an exciting phase of growth, and we recently reached 115 dedicated employees offering customized solutions for project-specific requirements and client needs. We offer opportunities for personal development in a dynamic environment.

At Njord Survey, we have a setup where the processing of data is carried out from the Gothenburg office, while the vessel crews are responsible for collecting survey data offshore. As a Mate, you will be part of the offshore crew and work closely with the Master onboard. You will ensure that the vessel is operated in a safe and correct manner as well as carry out preventive maintenance on vessel equipment and service systems onboard.

A Mate at Njord Survey can independently take on the role of Officer of the Watch when the Master is not on duty. The job also includes continuously evaluating and interpreting the safety conditions for the vessel, environment, and crew to decide if the conditions live up to the established safety requirements for operation.
