We are looking for certified pilots and experienced masters who want to train as pilots – primarily for the ports of Skagen and Frederikshavn. The positions have port pilotage in the two ports as the primary task. You must also maintain – or obtain as part of your education – a transit pilot certificate.

We are a dynamic growing company with a flat structure, high ceilings and experienced colleagues. With us, you will have the opportunity to shape daily life and contribute to the development of the pilotage profession and our workplace.

We are especially looking for applicants who:

  • Are a certified pilot with rights to Skagen and/or Frederikshavn ports.
  • Are a certified pilot in other areas and want to extend your rights to Skagen and Frederikshavn.
  • Are experienced shipmasters with solid experience from sailing and maneuvering larger ships and want to train as a harbour and transit pilot?

We emphasize that you:

  • Put safety and professionalism first.
  • Have good collaboration and communication skills.
  • Are able to work independently and maintain an overview in a changing and sometimes hectic everyday life.
  • Meet colleagues, ship crews, and partners with respect, good humour and a positive attitude.
  • Want to share your knowledge and contribute to a strong professional community.

We offer:

  • An exciting everyday life with harbour pilotage in Skagen and Frederikshavn as your primary area of ​​work.
  • A strong collegial community with experienced pilots and boatmen.
  • Short decision-making processes and influence on daily life.
  • Professional development and training based on your experience and existing qualifications.
  • Good future opportunities in a growing company.

Interested in other pilotage areas?
Our current main focus is Skagen and Frederikshavn, but we would also like to hear from certified pilots and future pilot candidates interested in other pilotage areas. Please state your current rights and desired work area in the application.
