Unique Antwerp Maritime is looking for a Crew Planner.
You will be working for one of our clients, one of the largest offshore pipeline installation and subsea construction companies, located in Essen.

• Discussing career growth and development opportunities for crew members together with HR
• In short: you maintain oversight in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same.

• Your curiosity, drive, and enjoyment of what you do. It’s a big plus if you also bring:

At least 3 to 5 years of experience in a similar role, such as crew planning or transport planning
The ability to stay calm and maintain an overview, even when everything happens at once
Clear and friendly communication skills, with a good sense of humor
The confidence to make decisions and take responsibility, always with respect and situational awareness
