  • Review and approve purchase orders and invoices related to crew operations and mobilization/demobilisation, ensuring alignment with approved budgets and FAL requirements.
  • Coach and develop team members, strengthening their skills and competencies.
  • Perform other crewing-related duties as assigned by the Function and Business Unit Head.

Onshore HR Responsibilities

Requirements

  • Minimum 8 years of experience in crewing and/or HR operations within the offshore/maritime sector, including experience managing teams.
  • Strong knowledge of international maritime crewing regulations and requirements, including STCW, ILO and MLC 2006, as well as applicable flag state requirements.
  • Proven experience in team leadership and managing multicultural, international crew.
  • Experience in union relations, CBA negotiations, and industrial relations is highly desirable.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with clients, unions, vendors, internal teams, and senior management.
