Crew Planner

As a part of our Marine or Construction department, you will collaborate closely with the Crew Operations team to manage the personnel planning across our fleet. You will create well-balanced schedules that align with specific project and vessel requirements, contributing to a successful execution of our projects.

You will take ownership of the crew planning (up to a few hundred people) for the disciplines assigned to you, across all Allseas vessels. Your tasks consist mainly of (but are not limited to) the following:

• You act as the primary point of contact for the superintendents on the vessels regarding planning matters
• For any short-term planning challenges that come up, you make sure to find a proper solution
• When you identify structural crew shortages or surpluses, you report them to HR and Operations
• You provide the Crew Operations Team with valuable input on planning and special requirements
• Along the way, you build and maintain strong relationships with all stakeholders: Human Resources, Vessel Management Teams, Learning & Development and the crew members
• Also with the Operations Managers you build a strong partnership to address long-term workforce needs
• In close collaboration with the Discipline Managers, you determine resource requirements and make key decisions
• You stay in close touch with the vessels regarding crew composition and equal distribution of experience
• Together with HR, you work on career development and promotions for the crew

In order to be a good fit for this position, you should recognize yourself largely in the following criteria:

• You have at least three years of experience as a Planner and you have proven your talent and potential when it comes to making schedules
• Experience in the maritime sector is a great asset, but planners from other industries are also more than welcome
• Even more important: you have the will to deal with complex plannings, changing priorities and unforeseen circumstances
• You are not afraid to ask for help from your team, and your colleagues can count on your help when needed
• You are both assertive and diplomatic in your communication and you know how to deal with different stakeholders (crew members, superintendents, captains...)
• You speak and write fluent English; knowledge of the Dutch language is an asset
• You are willing to travel from time to time and maintain visibility across our fleet, this includes visits to vessels and our main office in Delft

Working for Allseas means: contributing to the development of top-notch technologies and achieving industry firsts, such as building the world’s largest heavy-lifting vessel and performing the heaviest single lift of all time.

You can count on:

• A passionate, team-oriented work environment with an informal atmosphere and extremely helpful colleagues
• A historic, monumental building in Essen (Belgium) with a unique blend of coziness and cosmopolitanism, alongside colleagues from many different countries
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth, including study budgets, trainings, and coaching.
• A competitive salary based on your level of experience, collective health insurance, hospitalization insurance, eco-cheques, and one of the best pension plans in the market!
• Support for a healthy work-life balance with very flexible working hours (start between 07:00–10:00), a 38-hour work week, and early Fridays.
• Allseas has earned the “World-Class Workplace” label, based entirely on employee feedback.
