  • Plan and oversee preventive maintenance, repairs, spare-parts requirements, and technical projects.
  • Develop and manage vessel operating, maintenance, and repair budgets.
  • Ensure compliance with class, flag, port-state, SIRE, and company requirements.
  • Plan and manage drydockings, major repairs, surveys, and vessel-upgrade projects.
  • Review the quality, cost, and timely delivery of work performed by shipyards, contractors, and equipment vendors.
  • Identify technical deficiencies and implement practical solutions that improve vessel safety, efficiency, and reliability.
  • Minimize vessel downtime while maintaining high technical and regulatory standards.
  • Support long-term asset-management strategies designed to preserve vessel condition and maximize asset value.
  • Promote continuous improvement across the fleet and provide recommendations to senior fleet-management leadership.
We are looking for candidates with the following:
  • First Class Marine Engineer Certificate of Competency or a degree in Marine Engineering.
  • Minimum of two years of seagoing experience as Chief Engineer.
  • Previous Chief Engineer experience aboard oil or petroleum tankers strongly preferred.
  • At least two years of shoreside technical or fleet-management experience preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of tanker machinery, maintenance programs, drydocking, class requirements, flag-state regulations, port-state control, and SIRE expectations.
  • Demonstrated troubleshooting, budgeting, vendor-management, and project-management capabilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple vessels, technical priorities, and time-sensitive operational issues.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with vessel crews and shoreside stakeholders.

Our client offers a competitive compensation package and the opportunity to join a well-established international maritime organization.
