You will not be thrown in at the deep end; during your first 6 to 8 weeks, you will complete a structured onboarding program, working alongside an experienced senior operator to learn the systems, procedures, and responsibilities of the role. You will begin working independently only when fully prepared. Many of our current senior operators started exactly where you are today.

We are looking for someone who enjoys responsibility, works accurately, and maintains composure in rapidly changing situations. You should have:

• An mbo+ level of education (a maritime or nautical background is an advantage but not required).
• Excellent command of English; Dutch or additional languages are a plus.
• A calm, client-focused approach with strong prioritization skills.
• Flexibility to work a rotating 6-shift schedule, totaling 27 shifts over an 8-week cycle, including one standby week with availability for up to 6 shifts plus 1 additional day.
• Experience as a 2nd or 3rd Officer is a strong advantage.
• A home within reasonable commuting distance of Maassluis, as the rotating shift schedule includes occasional short-notice call-outs.
• The legal right to live and work in the Netherlands; please note that we cannot sponsor visas or work permits for this position.

In return, you will join a close-knit team where your work directly impacts maritime safety and operations. We offer:

• A gross monthly salary between €2,509.50 and €3,247.35 (full-time), depending on experience.
• A 30% structural shift allowance, bringing your total gross monthly salary to approximately €3,262 to €4,222.
• 8% holiday allowance.
• A 4% Personal Choice Budget.
• The possibility to work part-time from 24 hours per week.
• A flat, open organization with short communication lines.
• A comprehensive onboarding program and ongoing support from experienced colleagues.

If you are interested, we would love to hear from you. For more information or to apply, please contact Jeroen Dolfsma at j.dolfsma@dirkzwager.com.
