In the near-term, you will be responsible for execution of maintenance, as well as contributing to the development of a global maintenance organization for medium to large autonomous surface vessels.

  • Serve as on-site decision-maker during maintenance evolutions
  • Interface with operations, engineering, and logistics teams

Regulatory & Compliance
  • Ensure compliance with ABS, USCG, and IMO standards
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation and maintenance records
  • Enforce Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) protocols, including high risk marine operations

Operational Integration
  • Align maintenance with mission schedules and operational constraints
  • Understand vessel usage profiles and adjust maintenance strategy accordingly
  • Support reliability improvements and "bad-actor analysis"

Qualifications
  • Licensed Chief Engineer or 1AE (or equivalent experience) strongly preferred
  • 10+ years marine engineering experience
  • Demonstrated experience across multi-discipline marine systems
  • Strong leadership experience leading engineering teams
  • Experience with CMMS platforms and maintenance planning; experience with implementation of these systems is desired
  • Deep understanding of marine regulatory frameworks
  • Experience in remote operations or expeditionary environments preferred
  • Ability to obtain Secret clearance
  • Willingness and ability to travel frequently, up to 75% of working time, including rapid deployment and field assignments

Physical Demands
  • This position requires the ability to perform essential physical job functions in a marine and industrial environment
  • Ability to stand, walk, and work for extended periods (up to 12 hours per shift)
  • Frequently lift, carry, push, and pull up to 45 pounds, and occasionally more with assistance
  • Perform physically demanding tasks including bending, kneeling, crouching, crawling, and working overhead
  • Ability to climb ladders, access vessel compartments, and work at heights or in restricted access areas
  • Work in confined spaces such as machinery spaces, bilges, and tanks in accordance with safety procedures
  • Maintain balance and coordination while working on moving vessels or uneven surfaces
  • Exposure to marine and industrial hazards, including rotating equipment, pressurized systems, fuels, oils, and hazardous materials
  • Ability to safely operate tools, machinery, and diagnostic equipment
  • Ability to wear required PPE, including respiratory protection where required
  • Work in outdoor and non-climate-controlled environments, including exposure to weather and marine conditions
  • Ability to identify hazards and respond appropriately using visual, auditory, and tactile awareness
