Your Work Context
Jan De Nul is a pioneer in building at sea. We install infrastructure for renewable energy, enable transport by water, protect our coastlines and build state of the art ports. To do so, we use a diverse dredging and offshore fleet. An important part of our dredging fleet is the cutter suction dredgers. A cutter suction dredger is a vessel that grinds the seabed by means of a large rotating cutter head and immediately sucks it up. The dredged material can be loaded into a split barge or pumped to the mainland through a pipe system.
Your Role
For an employment on board of our self propelled or non self propelled cutter suction dredgers, we are looking for dredge operators.
As a cutter dredge operator, your duties will be as follows:
* Together with your team, you are responsible for carrying out daily dredging operations, with a view to optimising production.
* You take part in repair and maintenance work on board the vessel.
* You take care of the daily check of the dredging equipment.
* You carry out the necessary deck work.
When performing the above tasks, you will always work as part of a team with the other crew on board: being a team player is an absolute must for this job.
For this, we are looking for candidates with the following profile:
* You are hands on: physical work does not put you off.
* You can express yourself well in English.
* You are safety minded.
* You have either a maritime education or a technical background (mechanics, welding, turning and milling, CNC operator).
* You have a first work experience in the maritime or technical industry.
* A sailing qualification STCW 95 (officer rating) is considered a plus, but not a necessity.
Working at Jan De Nul
* In this position, you will work in a challenging rotational schedule of 6 weeks of work followed by 6 weeks of leave. During your work period, you will work 12h/day and 7 days a week.
* If you work on board a self propelled cutter suction dredger, you will also sleep on board of that vessel. If you work on a non self propelled cutter suction dredger, you will sleep in a nearby hotel. The location of this employment is spread worldwide and varies according to our projects.
* Through the JDN Academy, we offer you a permanent training programme.
* A caring culture: through our FIT programme, we watch over your well being. Attention is paid to exercise, nutrition and a healthy work life balance.
* The opportunity to make a difference with your colleagues, to distinguish yourself through creativity, innovation and sustainability.
