Capacitetscenter Maritim seeks an experienced and structured leader with technical understanding, good overview, and interest in materiel, maintenance and operations.

You will play a central role in ensuring an efficient and well-functioning support for the Defence's maritime materiel.

About us

The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (FMI), Maritime Division (KAMA) has its headquarters in Ballerup and is overall system owner for all Defence ships and vessels, maritime systems, as well as maritime materiel.

The Business Area for Maritime Platforms is organizationally placed under the Chief of the Maritime Division. We work with the entire lifecycle of materiel – from procurement and implementation of maritime materiel and smaller vessel acquisitions, to maintenance, modernization and finally disposal. In short, we take responsibility for the materiel from "cradle to grave".

The business area consists of 40 engaged employees distributed among both civilian and military staff, including nine capacity managers with separate areas of responsibility. To be close to our users (the Navy), we have colleagues at two shipping offices at Flådestation Frederikshavn and Flådestation Korsør.

You can expect a challenging everyday life in a dynamic environment with a free and informal tone, where professionalism, daily sparring and good collegiality are in focus. We offer a flexible everyday life with respect for the individual’s competencies, where you have great opportunity to plan tasks and work routines yourself

We place emphasis on a good working environment with a focus on collaboration based on each employee's competencies.

The position also gives you an important role in connection with upcoming new and replacement procurements of ships, vessels and other maritime materiel. You will, among other things, contribute to ensuring that new solutions are integrated appropriately into existing systems, processes and organizational frameworks.

The Defence faces significant development and expansion of its maritime capacities, and the position therefore offers the opportunity to influence both day-to-day operations and the long-term development of the area.
