Are you looking for a hands-on career in the marine industry that challenges your creativity and your mind, and can be done either at sea or on land?
There are two types of Marine Engineer – one that keeps the boats in tip top shape while they’re at sea, and the other that fixes them up on land in a factory, port, shipyard or dry dock. The industry needs both, and we can provide the training you need to be successful at either.
Whether you work on a navy ship, a cruise liner, an oil tanker or a super yacht – engineers are in high demand to keep the vessel running efficiently at sea, and to build, repair, service and maintain it between trips.
