About the position

An exciting and varied position focused on teaching. A challenging job with many collaborators within the maritime environment. A work climate where collaboration and development are key words. Good opportunities for professional and personal development. The position is based in Ilulissat and is largely carried out throughout Greenland.

You are part of a team that consists of additional instructors, the head of the course department, and several hourly-paid teachers that the course department uses as needed. All employees contribute to the department's operations and the varying tasks associated with it.

Furthermore, you will be involved in managing the department's materials, equipment, and boats, as well as structuring maintenance, acquisitions, and repairs.

The Maritime College is a small organization where there is a need for collaboration between departments and flexibility to ensure education for students and trainees.

Therefore, great flexibility and the ability to handle changes to plans at short notice are required.

We expect that you:

• It is preferred that you are a trained set skipper, first-class fishing skipper, or have a higher maritime education. Applicants with other maritime backgrounds may be considered, especially if part of the experience comes from school operations or the fishing industry.

• Can be part of the team around teaching in close collaboration with colleagues.
• Can work independently and meet agreed deadlines.
