DESAB works with service, repairs, and renovations of ships. Our projects are carried out both in Sweden and internationally, which means we handle everything from planning and documentation to travel, logistics, and customer contact. We are now looking for a project administrator who wants to work closely with our project managers and help keep the administrative side of projects running smoothly.
Job Responsibilities
As a project administrator, you will work alongside our project managers throughout the entire project lifecycle. While the project manager is responsible for the technical implementation, you ensure that the administrative side functions and that the project stays on track. This role is an important support function in our operations and involves creating the conditions for project managers to focus on technical implementation.
The job responsibilities vary but may include:
Supporting project managers in planning and monitoring projects
Tracking project finances together with project managers and accounting
Handling orders, reports, and project documentation
Quality-assuring documentation before it is sent to the customer
Booking travel, accommodations, and transportation for our traveling staff
Handling customs, freight, and visa administration for international assignments
Ensuring that projects move forward administratively and are completed in a satisfactory manner
It can happen that conditions change at short notice. Travel may need to be rebooked, regulations differ between countries, and sometimes projects need to be quickly adapted. Therefore, it is important that you are comfortable in a role where planning sometimes needs to be redone.
What We Offer
With us, you will have a varied role where you work closely with our project managers and accounting department. You will be part of a small team where collaboration is important and where we help each other when needed. The role offers an engaging workday with many different projects and the opportunity to develop as the business grows. We also offer wellness benefits and health insurance.
We are looking for someone who is organized, enjoys creating order, and thrives with multiple things going on at the same time. You need to be able to manage several tasks in parallel and ensure that things get completed.
We are looking for:
Experience in administrative work or project administration
Good computer skills and strong knowledge of the Office suite
Experience with customer contact
Good knowledge of Swedish and English
It is an advantage if you have worked in marine operations, industry, or other project-oriented activities.
