Our client provides marine engineering services to a range of private and commercially operated vessels working on the Thames.

  • Inspect, test and diagnose faults to ensure equipment is operating safely and efficiently

  • Support vessel repair and refurbishment projects both on the water and during dry dock periods

  • Use diagnostic equipment to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical systems

  • Work closely with operations teams to ensure all activities meet safety standards and regulatory requirements

  • Maintain accurate records of maintenance work, inspections and system performance

About You
  • Previous experience working as a Marine Engineer

  • Strong mechanical and fault-finding skills across marine systems

  • Experience with diesel engines, electrical systems and onboard machinery

  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a small engineering team

  • A proactive, practical approach to maintenance and problem solving

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys working on a variety of vessels operating in one of the UK’s busiest and most iconic waterways.
