Skipper

The Skipper is responsible for the safety of the Crew and vessel throughout the operation.

Rescue related decisions are made together with the HoM and our operational land support. Given the small size of the ship and flat hierarchies among the crew, we expect the Skipper to support the crew on deck whenever bridge duties allow it. The Skipper is also responsible to lead maritime training according to our internal training schedules.

Requirements:

• German SBF See, or equivalent pleasure craft license without limitations of distance from the coast, AND valid Radio Operator’s Certificate
• Experience in SAR: at least 2 rotations (not necessarily as Skipper) AND/OR experience as skipper on similar crafts (twin engine, no bow thruster)
• Excellent communication and decision-making skills

Particularly desired:

• Fluent Italian
• Experience working with volunteers, some of whom with limited nautical experience
