Marine engineer (aboard)

Marine engineers aboard ship operate and maintain the engines and systems that keep vessels running. The work involves running and maintaining propulsion, power, and mechanical systems, monitoring and repairing equipment, troubleshooting faults at sea, and keeping the ship's machinery working reliably far from any workshop.

They work aboard merchant and other vessels. The role suits skilled, practical, self-reliant engineers who can keep complex machinery running and fix it when it fails at sea, work in the demanding environment of an engine room, and combine technical mastery with the resourcefulness that maintaining a ship far from help requires.
