Trainee Welding Coordinator

Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam repairs a wide range of vessels up to 250 metres in length at its yard in Amsterdam Noord. It is looking for a trainee welding coordinator who will grow into a key position in the quality organisation, working alongside an experienced colleague who will pass on his knowledge before retiring.

The role:

• Work with the current welding coordinator to make sure projects meet quality requirements
• Help prepare welding procedures, quality documentation and inspection plans
• Learn how welding certifications are managed and how customer and classification society requirements are met
• Be present in production to check work is done to the correct standards
• Support colleagues with welding-related questions
• Act as the link between the shop floor, project team, customers and surveyors

What's on offer:

• A development programme rather than a fixed role, with time to learn from an experienced colleague
• Training courses to develop into an independent welding coordinator
• A technical, maritime working environment with a team of around 25 nationalities

• Experience in a technical production environment
• Good knowledge of welding work, for example as a welder, foreman, work planner or QC employee
• Willingness to take training such as IWT if not already held
• Eager to learn and strong communication skills
