This is an excellent opportunity for a sea-going engineer who is looking to move into a land-based, harbour-focused role, while still remaining hands-on with marine operations. The role is primarily harbour based, with occasional work away from port supporting coastal towage and associated operations.
Key responsibilities include:
*
Providing 24/7 engineering cover within a 40-hour working week to meet customer towage requirements
*
Ensuring the safe, efficient and environmentally responsible operation of all mechanical and engineering systems on board
*
Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance of machinery and equipment
*
Making sound engineering decisions while working safely under pressure and in challenging marine environments
*
Maintaining high standards of safety for all crew and operations
*
Ordering machinery spares and engine room consumables as required
*
Working closely with other crew members and shore-based teams, adhering to all operational and safety procedures
Working Pattern
*
Permanent, land-based role (non-rotational)
*
Standard 40-hour week
*
Flexible working option available — hours can be completed earlier in the week, allowing additional days off, subject to management approval
*
Overtime opportunities available
This flexibility makes the role particularly attractive for engineers seeking a better work-life balance.
