Sweden's most beautiful workplace is seeking
Technical Manager for Icebreaker
For an icebreaker currently based in Luleå
The Mission of the Icebreakers
The Swedish Maritime Administration's icebreakers play a crucial role in maintaining maritime traffic during the winter months. Through icebreaker assistance, we ensure that commercial shipping can navigate even under challenging ice conditions in our fairways. During the ice-free part of the year, the icebreakers contribute to other important missions such as fairway maintenance, repairs of maritime safety equipment, and other technical interventions along the coast.
Our current Technical Manager is moving on internally, and we are looking for their replacement.

You will also be responsible for training and coaching new staff and have personnel responsibility for everyone in your department.

To succeed in the role of Technical Manager, good collaboration and communication skills are also required, as you will have frequent contact with both external and internal stakeholders and your own crew.
