For Maaskade Group, we are looking for a Crewing Manager who ensures that our fleet always has the right crew. You are the link between shore and ship, and you ensure that everything related to the crew is tightly organized.

As Crewing Manager, you are responsible for the recruitment, selection, planning, and deployment of the crew on our inland vessels. You are the link between our captains, crew members, and external partners, ensuring that our vessels always have the right crew available.

You maintain an overview of personnel planning, sailing and rest times, certifications, and other crew-related matters. In doing so, you ensure that everything complies with applicable laws and regulations. In unexpected situations, such as illness, leave, or last-minute changes, you react quickly and know how to find appropriate solutions.

You are someone who brings structure and calm to a dynamic environment. You think ahead, work accurately, and ensure that our vessels can always depart with a complete and qualified team. With the continued growth of our fleet, you play an important role in attracting, planning, and retaining the right people on board.

Our motto is: “Fluid transport, smoothly arranged.” That starts with a strong crewing organization. You are someone who:

• You have experience in crewing, personnel planning, or maritime HR; experience within inland shipping is a plus.
• You have knowledge of sailing and rest times and relevant laws and regulations, or are willing to quickly familiarize yourself with them.
• You are strong in planning, organizing, and maintaining an overview, even when pressure increases.
• You switch gears quickly, think in solutions, and know how to act appropriately in the event of changes or unexpected situations.
• You possess excellent communication skills and know how to easily liaise with crew members, captains, and external partners.
• You take responsibility, demonstrate ownership, and feel committed to the optimal planning and utilization of the fleet.
• You have an affinity with inland shipping and feel at home in a dynamic, operational work environment.
• You have a good command of Dutch, English, and German, both spoken and written.

For this position, we are looking for a professional who enjoys dynamism, responsibility, and making an impact on the water. Naturally, this is rewarded. In addition to working for a leading player in inland shipping with an informal and no-nonsense culture, we offer you:

• An independent and responsible position within a growing and professional organization.
• A competitive salary commensurate with your knowledge, experience, and background.
• A key role within a modern inland shipping organization, where you contribute directly to the continuity of our fleet and services.
• Plenty of room for initiative and the opportunity to further optimize processes.
• A varied role where you are present both at the office and regularly on board our vessels.
• Ample opportunities for personal development and career advancement within the organization.
• A company car and phone.
• Good secondary employment conditions.
• An enthusiastic and committed team with short lines of communication and an informal working atmosphere.
• A full-time contract of 32/40 hours per week.
