Since our founding in Berlin in 2015, SOS Humanity has been active as a civilian search and rescue organisation to ensure that no one has to drown at sea and that everyone is treated with dignity. With our rescue ships Humanity 1 and Humanity 2 we operate in the central Mediterranean to rescue people in distress at sea, protect them and bring them to a place of safety.

SOS Humanity recently acquired a second ship to strengthen its civilian SAR fleet. Humanity 2 is a 24-meter steel yacht ketch and is currently undergoing extensive shipyard work and refitting so that it will be fully operational in the central Mediterranean in the summer of 2026.

For our crew we are looking for a Technician

• Assisting with electrical and IT-related maintenance
• Carrying out general repairs on board

Qualifications:

• Strong practical skills (“hands-on” experience)
