A number of vacancies are currently open for roles with shipping companies based on the South Coast.
In the Port of Waterford, shipping services firm Maritime Expert Ireland is recruiting for cargo surveyors in liquid and dry bulk cargos.
Candidates will work on a rotational basis and the position requires extensive travel. During the ‘on’ period, they will be based in a company apartment in Holland, Belgium or Germany.
The role requires a marine or port background, and cargo surveyor experience is beneficial. The nature of the job requires a certain standard of physical condition.
A full European driver’s licence is a must, as is a TIC (formally IFIA) certificate (or the willingness to obtain one).
Successful candidates will have the ability to work well on their own but still be a team player. They will have a proactive, can-do mentality, as well as an excellent customer-focused attitude and good communication skills.
They must also not be afraid of heights, water and confined spaces, the company emphasises.
Applicants should sent their CV and cover letter to [email protected]

Out-of-office-hours work and weekend work on a rota basis will be involved. From time to time the port agency assistant may be required to work at other company sites.
