Energy Savings Coordinator (working student)

Who we are

Seatrade is one of the largest and most experienced shipping companies in the Netherlands. Our technical teams
in Groningen are responsible for safe and effective ship management, whereas our commercial teams in Breda
handle all commercial matters. Seatrade is specialised in the transport of perishable cargo such as fruit (bananas,
citrus, grapes, lychees), meat and fish. Transporting these types of goods brings unique challenges in terms of
sustainable energy management and the related fuel consumption.

Seatrade takes these challenges very seriously. In order to face them, a new department was founded in 2023: the
Energy Analytics Department. Its task is to ensure fleetwide cost effective and sustainable energy management.
Achieving this will not only have a positive impact on the environment but it will also help to improve our financial
results. We are looking for a new enthusiastic working student to strengthen the Energy Analytics Department.

• Work as a member of the Energy Desk, supervised and assisted by the Energy Analytics Officer.
• You will have a wide variety of responsibilities related to sustainable energy management such as:
  o Daily monitoring of the fleetwide fuel consumption data and its administration;
  o Reporting to legislative organisations, including the EU, UN, classification societies and flag states;
  o Assist with the development of models and strategies to analyse and improve vessel performance;
  o Educating and assisting our crew(s) on board our vessels with energy related matters;
  o Create regular sustainability and performance reports for internal and external use.
• Work with both teams in Groningen (on-site) and the teams in Breda (online and occasionally on-site).
• Engage actively to improve energy savings and sustainable awareness.

What we require

• Good written and spoken knowledge of the English language (official working language of Seatrade).
• HBO (or above) oriented level of thinking and communicating.
• Data-driven interests with basic knowledge of Excel (calculating averages, merging columns etc.).
• Self-propelled, proactive, with the ability to work in a team.
• An open mind with a strong focus on progress and improvements.
• Residency in the vicinity of Groningen.
• EU citizenship or valid Dutch/EU working permit.

Nice to have

• Good knowledge of additional languages such as Dutch, Russian, Filipino, French or German.
• Affinity with topics of sustainable energy management.
• Knowledge regarding data science and related programming languages (e.g., Python and R).
• Knowledge about international maritime environmental legislation (e.g., MRV, ETS, FuelEU, CII, GFI).

What we offer

• A challenging job in a dynamic and international maritime environment.
• Many opportunities to learn and grow on the job with the possibility to take on own (analysis) projects.
• 16-24 working hours per week with 9.19% holidays and 8% holiday allowance.
• Hourly before-tax wage from €10.00 (18 years old) to €15.45 (21+ years old).
