Susanne, Service Technician
Joining VIKING and the career path as a service technician has been such a good decision for me! I enjoy combining traveling and socializing with diverse types of people in my everyday work, where no two days are the same. It’s a lot of fun!
I have learned a lot in the field, during training and onboard vessels – even though it has been a steep learning curve and the job proved tough at first. However, it has helped me grow and develop in so many positive ways; I was maybe a little bit shy and insecure in the beginning, but today I have become a confident, skillful, and independent maritime technician!
In fact, I know that the maritime industry has so much to offer women, and we have a lot to offer in return, so I really encourage more women to explore this field of work, and VIKING is a great place to take this step.
Nittnoii, Manager Global Network Administration
I joined VIKING in 2002 as an Administration Officer, handling purchasing and payroll in Thailand before transitioning into sales support. Over the years, I’ve worked in both Thailand and Singapore, steadily expanding my expertise in sales, customer relations, and global service agreements.
Today, as Manager of Global Network Administration, I oversee operations that support our worldwide service network. My role involves managing agreements and spare part pricing as well as coordinating and ensuring seamless processes for our global service partners.
What I enjoy most? The dynamic international collaboration and the challenge of finding the best solutions for our customers. VIKING has provided me with opportunities to grow, and I’m proud to be part of a company dedicated to saving lives.
Pawel, Service Manager
As a young technician, I loved traveling and meeting new people and cultures around the world. It has been a fantastic opportunity for me, and I have embraced all the challenges and experiences it has brought me.
Here in Singapore, I had the extraordinary career opportunity to become a Service Manager within Marine Fire Safety. I get to use the many years of experience I have from being a technician as well as gaining new insights, and helping others become even better.
I really like that!
Jorden, Lifeboat Engineer
I felt like I wanted to travel more - and working for VIKING is very flexible in that way. VIKING is present almost everywhere, and you have many opportunities to grow both within the job and location-wise.
I wanted to see the world and have a job where no two days are the same. I got exactly that as a lifeboat engineer!
I work both on vessels and offshore platforms and get to be outside in the sun and fresh air instead of wasting away in the same place doing the same thing on repeat. Also, it feels excellent to service equipment intended to save people's lives.
Surely the job can be demanding at times, but traveling, working, and socializing with good colleagues - or friends, as I like to call them - more than makes up for it.
Andreas, Owner Agreements Teamlead
I started as an all-round trainee, working in four departments over two years to gain a broad understanding of VIKING. This hands-on experience, combined with mentoring from colleagues, gave me valuable insights into our global operations.
After my trainee period, I spent a few years in our service organisation before stepping into my current role as Owner Agreements Teamlead. Now, I work closely with our global sales force promoting safety agreements for shipowners worldwide.
What makes VIKING special? The meaningful work, global opportunities, and the chance to develop my skills every day in a company dedicated to saving lives.
Jackie, Service Technican
Being in the maritime industry since 2006 I am really passionate about my job – not only do I enjoy traveling for jobs and being in the workshop, but also the opportunity to meet new people, work with highly competent colleagues, and passing on knowledge to the younger technicians.
Communication is key in my job – we need to be on the same page and work together as a team to make sure that we deliver high-quality every time. It feels good to know that our contribution and knowledge serve a life-saving purpose. Teamwork makes the dream work, you know.
