What will you as a Technical Quality Expert?
As a Technical Quality Expert, you act as the link between engineering, quality, and dispute resolution within the maritime fuel industry. You will investigate the quality of delivered fuels, assess claims and damage cases, and analyse the causes of possible engine issues or system contamination.

You will work both onboard vessels and in the office, where you prepare reports and liaise with shipowners, bunker suppliers, insurers and opposing experts.

Knowledge of marine fuels – both conventional and new, cleaner alternatives (e.g. biofuels, LNG);

Understanding of fuel systems onboard ships and experience with fuel handling, storage, and treatment;

Knowledge of the ISO 8217 standard and other relevant fuel specifications;

Excellent report writing skills in English (Dutch is an advantage);

The ability to think strategically, analytically, and proactively;

A diplomatic and professional attitude, especially when dealing with multiple stakeholders.

Experience in damage investigation, bunker disputes, or laboratory work is an advantage, but not a strict requirement – we provide full support and professional development.

What do we offer you?

A competitive salary, based on knowledge and experience;

A challenging and varied position for 32–40 hours per week;

A company car, laptop, and phone;

24 vacation days per year (pro rata) with the option to purchase extra days;
