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.
