Marine Engineer

Marine engineers design, build, test, and maintain the engines, systems, and equipment used on ships and offshore structures. This includes work on propulsion systems, power generation, and navigation technology. Marine engineers might work on commercial vessels, naval ships, oil rigs, or renewable energy installations at sea. The job can involve both office-based design and hands-on work at docks, harbours, or even out at sea. Problem-solving, technical knowledge, and teamwork are essential skills for this career. To become a marine engineer, you typically need a relevant degree in marine or mechanical engineering, and practical experience is highly valued.
