Marine engineers design, construct, maintain, and repair a variety of maritime vessels including cargo ships, cruise liners, and oil rigs. They apply their engineering knowledge and technical skills to a variety of systems including structural, propulsion, electrical, and hydraulic mechanics.
Marine Engineer Responsibilities:
Conducting research and tests to inform the design and construction of marine vehicles and equipment.
Preparing technical reports such as research, systems diagnostics, and design analysis documentation.
Presenting layout and engineering designs to clients and team members for analysis and feedback.
Supervising all aspects of the design process for structural, mechanical, and electrical systems.
Overseeing the construction of marine vessels and equipment to ensure their quality and integrity.
Performing quality control inspections and tests on all systems and equipment and installing upgrades, as needed.
Ensuring adherence to safety precautions and project timelines.
Training and supervising engineering teams including designers, mechanics, and construction staff.
Performing maintenance on marine vehicles and equipment.
Investigating and diagnosing technical issues and implementing effective repairs.
Keyskills: to be thorough pay attention to detail the ability to use repair maintain machines tools knowledge of engineering science technology
Maintenance engineers undertake scheduled and breakdown maintenance of engineering equipment. Maintenance engineers ensure that industrial machinery and equipment runs smoothly and reliably. You may be called out to deal with a breakdown or inspect equipment as part of a maintenance schedule.
