Nautical Damage Expert
Are you looking for new challenges and do you have experience as, for example, a mate/Maroff, or are you a P&I expert but want to investigate the other side of the story, do you want stability on shore or no more 24-hour or weekend shifts? But still want to get on board ships and occasionally travel abroad? Then we have an exciting position within our team for you!
As a Nautical Damage Expert, you are primarily involved in the handling of damage claims with a nautical character. Think of damage to cargo, collisions, stranding or sinking of ships, engine failure or other technical problems that may have caused damage to the ship or cargo. Or suppliers in the maritime industry being held liable.
Every incident is unique, every day is different and you never stop learning.
As a Nautical Damage Expert, you are a pleasant interlocutor for all parties involved and you know how to put your findings accurately on paper. You feel at home in a dynamic environment and are able to keep multiple matters/damage claims under control at the same time.
Do you also enjoy contributing to the growth of our department, are you creative in seeking solutions and do you have the ambition to further develop yourself? Then you might just be our new colleague.
You record the outcomes of your investigation in clear reports. Your responsibilities include:
Investigating the situation on-site (on board), interviewing those involved and objectively determining the damage;
Remotely supervising foreign colleagues/experts for investigating damages. When this is not possible or foreign colleagues do not have the right competencies, you will go yourself or be hired by them.
Thinking along to limit or resolve the damage.
Maintaining contact with involved parties such as insurers, insurance brokers and the insured.
Drafting a clear and factual report for your client, both in Dutch and in English.
We offer our employees an inspiring workplace. You will get plenty of space and opportunities to develop yourself professionally and personally. We offer you a career instead of a job. In addition, we offer you:
A varied, dynamic job with a lot of freedom and independence;
A very varied and collegial team of employees from all corners of the maritime/transport world;
A good salary, aligned with education and experience;
28 annual vacation days (with full-time employment) and the possibility to purchase extra days at a favorable rate;
8% holiday allowance, expense allowance and an interesting bonus scheme;
Lease car, mobile phone and laptop;
The possibility to work from home;
The possibility to follow relevant education and training;
To become a Nivre damage expert (registered expert);
Social and informal activities, such as Christmas drinks, department outings, team lunches, Friday afternoon drinks and staff parties.
