We’d like to strengthen our pusher fleet team and are therefore looking for engineers to join us with immediate effect.

(WHO ARE DEFINITELY NOT AFRAID OF A LITTLE POWER)

What will you be doing?

As an engineer you’ll ensure our pusher boat/barge combinations can undisturbedly move forward as you’ll:

• ensure the 3 main engines (total power > 4 mW) will be able to run continuously 
• maintain and operate all other installations, including pumps, gearboxes, generators, separators, compressors and so on
• know how to operate, service and troubleshoot the installations 
• appropriately intervene when you notice faults or deviations

• not shy away from working Marad and keeping a correct administration

You’ll also be on stand-by during specific manoeuvres, like stays in ports and/or when connecting and disconnecting the push barges, making sure any installation breakdowns can effectively be repaired. Plus you’ll also be responsible for keeping the engine room clean, well-organised and tidy.

So what are we looking for?

You’ll have a positive attitude and enjoy being part of a team. In addition, you will also have:

• Completed a course at Marof level, preferably in the field of Marine Engineering, or a completed Marine Engineer A course 
• A service record book with a ‘machinist’ endorsement 
• Demonstrable, multiple years of experience as an engineer in a similar environment 
• A willingness to complete additional education/courses 
• A good oral command of the English language and preferably of the Dutch and/or German language
• Driving License B

What will we be offering you?

You’ll be working on one of our pusher tugs which make their way from Rotterdam to Duisburg and vice versa 24/7, 365 days a year. We have our own CLA. You’ll be working a 14-day on/14-day off rota. We’ll also be able to offer you: 

• A competitive salary 
• Development opportunities with professional guidance 
• Programmes which will benefit your sustainable employability. 
• Workwear and PPE
• The possibility to take a three weeks holiday
