Vetting Specialist

Do you have extensive experience in maritime safety, vetting, and compliance? Are you looking for a highly specialized role where

sound judgment, technical expertise, and independent decision-making are valued? Would you like to work in an environment where

safety, quality, and professional integrity are at the heart of every decision? Then you might be the one we are looking for.

As a Vetting Specialist, you will be responsible for evaluating vessel suitability and ensuring compliance with VAROPreem's

safety, environmental, and operational standards. Working closely with vessel operators, inspectors, authorities, and internal

stakeholders, you will review vetting requests, coordinate inspections, and provide expert guidance on maritime safety and

compliance matters. This is one of the most specialized roles within VAROPreem, offering a high degree of autonomy and

responsibility, where your professional judgment and technical expertise will be central to maintaining high standards across

maritime operations. The role also provides the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of vetting policies,

processes, and industry best practices.

At VAROPreem, you will join a welcoming and collaborative workplace where trust, personal responsibility, and professional

development are highly valued. As the energy sector undergoes its most significant transformation in decades, you will have the

opportunity to contribute to both today's energy needs and tomorrow's more sustainable solutions.

We offer a high degree of autonomy and encourage employees to take initiative, challenge established ways of working, and help

shape the future of our business.

• Master Mariner with minimum five years of documented experience serving as a senior deck officer (Chief Officer/Master) aboard

products, chemical, gas, or crude oil tankers.

• Extensive experience in managing SIRE/CDI inspections on board vessels, preferably including involvement in preparing responses

to observations raised during such inspections.

You are a structured and analytical professional who approaches complex situations with calm, objectivity, and attention to

detail. Strong integrity and sound judgment enable you to make well-considered decisions independently, even when faced with

differing opinions or external pressure. At the same time, you build credibility through clear communication, a collaborative

mindset, and a respectful approach to working with others. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and value professionals

who combine expertise with humility, professionalism, and a strong sense of responsibility.

We look forward to receiving your application as soon as possible, but no later than 8 November 2026. Applying is easy – simply
