Job Description

- Marine engineers are specialist technical professionals who design, develop, build, install, inspect and maintain the propulsion systems, engines, pumps and other pieces of technical equipment that make boats and other maritime vessels function effectively. These guys work on all kinds of ships, from ferries, cargo ships and hovercraft to cruise liners and military vessels, such as frigates, warships and submarines.

- Most marine engineers choose to specialise in one particular area. For instance, you might focus your efforts on the maintenance of engines and propulsion systems when ships are in dry dock. Alternatively, you may become an expert marine design engineer, where you- ll spend the majority of your time designing complex machinery using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

- Your responsibilities will vary depending on your area of specialism. However, in general you will firstly be responsible for liaising with your client to understand the specific requirements of the project.

- Once you have been given the project brief, you will play an integral role in the research, design, development, testing, tweaking, production, installation and maintenance of a mechanical solution which satisfies the project requirements and fits in with rigorous time and budget constraints.

- Marine engineering is not just about hands-on technical work, though - senior marine engineers usually have project management and budget control responsibilities, too.
