I am excited to partner with a growing provider of marine services within the Offshore sector. Â Due to continued expansion, they now have an immediate requirement for a Marine Engineer to join their team in the UK. Â This is a fantastic opportunity for a mechanically biased engineer who would be interested in working a rotational shift of 2 weeks on and 1 week off. Â Although not essential, this position would be ideally suited to an ex Royal Navy or Merchant Navy engineer. Â Due to the nature of the role, candidates must be flexible to stay away from home on their working rotation of two weeks. Â There is flexibility in the location of the candidate but will be based on the east coast in or around the following areas: Buckie, Newcastle, Scarborough, Hornsea, Grimsby, Skegness, Lowestoft, Clacton-on-Sea, Ramsgate. Â
This is an exciting time to join the company as they experience a period of significant growth. Â The successful Marine Engineer will receive comprehensive manufacturer training alongside a clear progression pathway with some fantastic benefits.
