What is a seagoing?

A Seagoing job refers to any occupation that involves working aboard a vessel, such as cargo ships, tankers, cruise ships, or fishing boats. These roles can include deck officers, engineers, crew members, and hospitality staff. Seagoing jobs often require specialized training, certifications, and the ability to work long periods away from home. They offer opportunities for travel, career advancement, and hands-on experience in maritime operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the seagoing position?

To thrive in a seagoing role, you need strong seamanship skills, physical fitness, and a valid maritime certification such as STCW, along with experience operating and maintaining vessel equipment. Familiarity with navigational tools, communication systems, and safety protocols is commonly required in the maritime industry.

Seagoing personnel often work in shifts, commonly known as 'watches,' which may include nights, weekends, and holidays, as vessels operate around the clock. Living conditions involve shared cabins and communal spaces, requiring adaptability to close quarters and limited privacy for extended periods. Crew members regularly rotate between periods at sea and onshore leave, with schedules varying by employer and type of vessel. Teamwork and clear communication are essential for maintaining morale and safety while at sea, and many seafarers find the experience rewarding for its camaraderie and opportunities for travel.

Our client, an international shipowner and operator, is seeking an experienced Technical Superintendent to oversee the technical performance, reliability, safety, and cost-effective operation of assigned tanker vessels.

Serving as the primary shoreside technical contact for the vessels under your responsibility, you will work closely with shipboard management, marine operations, HSSEQ, procurement, commercial teams, class societies, flag authorities, and external vendors. The successful candidate will combine senior seagoing engineering experience with strong commercial awareness and the ability to manage vessel maintenance within established operational and budgetary targets.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Provide day-to-day technical support and guidance to assigned vessels.
  • Monitor machinery performance, vessel condition, reliability, and operational readiness.
  • 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.
