Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

• Scope: The Sr. Technical Support Engineer supports the Diesel Engine and Auxiliary Asset function by providing advanced technical expertise for diesel engines and related auxiliary systems across the fleet. The role partners closely with the Manager, Diesel Engine, and the Director, Engine and Auxiliary Asset, to support planned and unplanned maintenance, technical troubleshooting, performance monitoring, vendor work scopes, claims documentation, and project execution. The role has both shore side and fleet impact, as it supports shipboard teams in improving equipment availability, reducing downtime, and maintaining consistent technical standards across vessels.

• Problem solving: The role requires the ability to diagnose and troubleshoot complex diesel engine and auxiliary system issues using technical knowledge, performance data, maintenance history, dashboard reporting, SFOC trends, vendor input, and shipboard feedback. The Sr. Technical Support Engineer is expected to analyse technical issues, identify root causes or contributing factors, anticipate maintenance risks, and recommend practical solutions that support safe, reliable, and cost effective operations. The role also supports condition-based maintenance opportunities by evaluating system performance and identifying areas where preventive action may reduce operational disruption or future equipment failure.

• Impact: This role directly contributes to improved vessel reliability, equipment performance, and reduced out of service downtime across the fleet. Through technical support, SOP development, planned maintenance work instructions, vendor specifications, quality control criteria, and project support, the role helps establish consistent practices within the diesel engine and auxiliary asset discipline. The position impacts operational readiness, safety, environmental compliance, cost control, and overall asset lifecycle management by supporting the standards and processes used to maintain critical marine technical systems.      

• Leadership: While the role does not appear to have direct reports, it requires strong technical leadership and the ability to influence shipboard teams, vendors, technical operations partners, and internal stakeholders without formal authority. The Sr. Technical Support Engineer provides guidance on technical issues, supports project execution, defines vendor work requirements, monitors completion against quality standards, and coordinates with the Manager, Diesel Engine, and Director, Engine and Auxiliary Asset, to ensure alignment with operational priorities. The role may also manage assigned initiatives, including feasibility review, planning, contractor coordination, expenditure tracking, reporting, and compliance with Safety, Quality, and Environmental policies.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related technical discipline

• Preferred - Marine engineering license, OEM diesel engine training, STCW certification, or other technical certification related to diesel engines, auxiliary systems, asset reliability, or condition based maintenance.

• 5+ years experience supporting diesel engine maintenance, troubleshooting, or technical operations in a marine, cruise, offshore, shipyard, fleet, or comparable heavy equipment environment.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills. 

• Ability to conduct statistical data analysis and interpret technical performance data. 

• proficient with Microsoft Office software and data analysis tools.

• Strong knowledge of diesel engines and related auxiliary systems, including operating principles, maintenance requirements, performance indicators, troubleshooting methods, and failure modes. 

• Ability to diagnose complex technical issues using all data available. 

• Demonstrated ability to support condition based maintenance opportunities from planning through execution. 

• Strong communication and collaboration skills are required to work effectively with shipboard teams, shoreside technical stakeholders, vendors, managers, and directors while supporting vessel reliability, reduced downtime, safety, compliance, and cost effectiveness.

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce accurate work, review information carefully, and follow established processes.
