How you can make your mark

We believe it's crucial for you to collaborate closely with your colleagues who are engaged in projects involving the vessels.
Smart innovations and modifications are continuously needed to keep achieving the best results. As fleet business controller, you will work from our Campus in Papendrecht and travel regularly to projects/locations worldwide.

- Drafting, monitoring, and challenging budgets regarding vessel related projects
- Acting as a financial business partner for fleet managers/teams and project leaders of repair or modification projects.
- Compiling various management reports and conducting business economic analyses at BU and project levels.
