Warehouse & Logistics Assistant

Join our team in Svendborg!

Hello, my name is Sonni Rix Laumann and I am looking for a Warehouse & Logistics Assistant to join my team at Svitzer’s local office in Svendborg. In this role, you will independently administer and coordinate the logistics and transport needs of Svitzer’s DIS vessels in Denmark.

The role combines warehouse administration, order handling and practical deliveries. You will work closely with the vessels, their crews and internal colleagues to ensure that the right materials reach the right vessel at the right time.

Who we are

Svitzer is a leading global towage operator, founded in 1833 and built on almost 200 years of experience. Our tugboats and experts in towage work tirelessly to keep goods flowing, businesses thriving and communities connected.

Today, Svitzer serves approximately 2,000 customers in more than 140 ports and 40 terminals across 37 countries, with a fleet of 456 vessels and more than 4,000 employees. We provide sustainable marine services that make ports and terminals safer, more efficient and more climate friendly.

Your role

You will be responsible for ensuring an efficient flow of materials between suppliers, Svitzer’s warehouse in Svendborg and vessels throughout Denmark. The work requires a service-minded and practical approach, as well as the ability to plan and carry out tasks independently.

Key responsibilities

• Receive and check stock items, spare parts and consumables delivered to Svitzer’s warehouse in Svendborg.

• Register received goods and orders in Sertica.

• Maintain regular contact with vessel crews and other relevant stakeholders.

• Contribute to creating structure and efficient routines for Svitzer’s logistics and transport flows.

• Carry out other tasks consistent with the role.

Working hours and employment setup

The total need is estimated at approximately 30–40 hours per week, corresponding to around one full-time equivalent. The need may be covered by several student assistants or hourly-paid casual workers.

Working hours will be administered on an hourly basis. Flexibility is important, and work and deliveries outside normal office hours may be required, particularly when the needs of the vessels demand this.

We are looking for some students or casual workers who:

• Has a positive and service-minded attitude.
