Working in the Central Duty Function at Unifeeder

You will know your schedule at least three months in advance, but we expect some flexibility for changes due to illness, vacation, etc. A duty cycle lasts seven weeks, covering both Marine and Operations duties.

The preferred location for this position is our office in Gdynia, Poland. Some travel is expected (est. 5-10 days annually). We are seeking candidates who are already based in Poland.

Key responsibilities

During your watch duty, you will work in one of two fields: Marine or Operations.

Marine:

• Ensure accurate information from all terminals.
• Monitor and liaise with vessels to ensure timely operations.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two shifts are the same, requiring a structured approach and the ability to remain calm in new situations.

You possess a logical and methodical mindset and take pride in finding solutions.

Additionally, you bring:
