Firefighting Service Engineer

Are you an experienced service engineer with a background in offshore operations and hands-on knowledge of firefighting systems? At Semco Maritime, we keep critical safety systems running on some of the world's most demanding offshore installations — and we're looking for someone who takes pride in doing that well.

Your position

As a Firefighting Service Engineer in our Technology Solutions division, you will join a close-knit Service Team based at our Global HQ in Esbjerg, Denmark. Your work will directly support the safety and reliability of offshore energy operations worldwide — from routine maintenance to complex troubleshooting in the field.

This is a full-time position with significant international travel (100+ days per year). If you thrive in a varied, hands-on role where no two weeks look the same, this could be a strong fit.

”This is a great opportunity to work worldwide with high performance fire protection systems, take on complex challenges and build valuable experience in a specialised engineering field” – Nikolaj Søegaard, Manager, Service Firefighting

Your tasks & responsibilities

You will be responsible for the delivery, coordination, and execution of firefighting service and maintenance across our on- and offshore client base. Day-to-day, this includes:

• Servicing, troubleshooting, and supervising firefighting systems (Water Mist, Deluge, Foam, Argonite, and others)
• Planning and executing maintenance and installation work onshore and offshore
• Preparing and reviewing work packages, including Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS)
• Providing remote technical support and contributing to tenders and quotations
• Building client relationships and identifying service opportunities
• Upholding health, safety, and environmental standards in all activities

Your profile & qualifications

We're looking for someone who is technically solid, safety-conscious, and comfortable working independently in demanding environments. You likely have:

• A technical qualification in engineering or a related discipline (mechanical and/or electrical)
• 1–5 years of experience in the offshore industry
• Hands-on knowledge of firefighting systems in an operational setting
• Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with clients
• Relevant offshore certifications (e.g. BOSIET/OPITO) — or willingness to obtain them
• Experience with work package preparation and safety documentation (RAMS)
• The ability and willingness to travel 100+ days per year and work offshore

What we offer

You will be joining a high-performing, international team where safety culture is genuinely lived, not just stated. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, and your base will be at our Esbjerg HQ — on the waterfront, at the heart of the Danish energy industry. As Semco Maritime continues to expand our service capabilities, there are real opportunities to grow with us.
