What is a maritime electric?

A Maritime Electric job typically involves working with electrical systems related to marine vessels, ports, or offshore structures. Professionals in this field may install, maintain, and repair electrical components on ships, submarines, or marine facilities. Roles can range from electricians and engineers to technicians specializing in marine electrical systems. These jobs often require knowledge of maritime regulations, electrical safety protocols, and specialized equipment. Positions can be found in the commercial shipping industry, naval operations, or offshore energy sectors.

What are the common challenges faced by maritime electricians aboard vessels?

Maritime Electricians often work in confined spaces and must contend with challenging environmental conditions like humidity, vibrations, and movement of the vessel. They must quickly diagnose and repair electrical systems under time constraints, sometimes during voyages or in remote ports. Collaboration with ship engineers, mechanics, and other crew members is essential to maintain the overall functionality and safety of onboard systems. Flexibility and a proactive approach are important, as unexpected issues can arise during long deployments at sea.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the maritime electric position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Maritime Electrician, you need a solid background in electrical systems, marine electronics, and trouble-shooting, typically supported by relevant technical training or apprenticeship and certifications such as a Journeyman Electrician license. Experience with marine electrical codes, diagnostic instruments, and shipboard PLCs or control systems is frequently required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to effectively communicate are invaluable in this position. These competencies are essential for ensuring the safety, reliability, and seamless operation of electrical systems aboard marine vessels.

  • Strong skills in C/C++ and embedded software development.
  • Experience designing schematics, PCB, and CAD
  • Experience working with different communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS232, J1939).
  • Team leadership experience, but also the desire to be a strong individual contributor.
  • Strong work ethic and the ability to work in a fast pace environment.

Highly Desired:
  • Experience with the maritime environment (e.g., IP ratings, ABYC standard, corrosion issues, galvanic isolation)
  • Experienced and passionate boater

What we offer:
