Marine Operator

Are you an experienced navigator or have a background in operational shipping? Do you enjoy working in a global, cross-functional environment? Are you a proactive and driven individual with a structured mindset? If so, you may be the new Marine Operator at Unifeeder!

Working in Central Duty Function at Unifeeder
As a Marine Operator, reporting to the Central Duty Function Manager, you will handle marine tasks across Unifeeder’s operational areas. From ensuring vessels are on time to coordinating with terminals and updating internal systems, your role is crucial for maintaining efficient operations.

You will be part of the Central Duty Function (CDF) department, operating 24/7, which means your work will include day, afternoon and night shifts. You will know your schedule at least three months in advance but expect some flexibility for changes due to illness, vacation, etc. A duty cycle lasts seven weeks, covering both marine and operations duties.

The preferred location for this position is the Unifeeder office in Gdynia, Poland. Some travel is expected (est. 5-10 days annually). Candidates must already be based in Poland.

Unifeeder, one of the largest and best-connected Feeder and Shortsea networks, offers you the chance to be part of a diverse workforce embracing various backgrounds and perspectives. You will benefit from continued career development and receive a compensation package that matches your skills and experience.

Operations:

Who You Are

You thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two shifts are the same, requiring a structured approach and the ability to remain calm in new situations.

You possess a logical and methodical mindset and take pride in finding solutions.

Additionally, you bring:

• A positive mindset and team player attitude, with constructive communication skills.
