  • Test & Inspection: Attend official tests, sea trials, and quality inspections to verify that all mechanical repairs meet contract standards and engineering criteria.
  • Requirements Management: Map complex end-user requirements to holistic engineering methodologies, safeguarding against missing design criteria or regulatory oversights.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with on-site technical oversight personnel to ensure seamless integration of cross-disciplinary systems.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Confirm all modifications comply with project specifications, classification society rules (e.g., ABS), and federal maritime standards (USCG).
  • Technical Reporting: Develop, document, and present clear technical materials and project briefings to key stakeholders for streamlined decision-making.

Qualifications & Experience
  • Background: Strong engineering foundation with definitive experience evaluating complex shipboard mechanical systems.
  • System Expertise: Direct, hands-on knowledge of maritime piping, HVAC, refrigeration, and hydraulic systems.

Compliance Literacy: Proven ability to audit industrial work against detailed contract specifications, ABS rules, technical drawings, and USCG regulations.
  • Experience providing shipyard oversight
  • Familiarity with industrial processes and procedures (especially safety protocols)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently, but also within a team setting
  • Ability to read and interpret vessel construction drawings and technical documentation.
