  • Review vessel deficiencies, inspection findings, technical reports, and implement corrective actions.
  • Support regulatory inspections, surveys, audits, and certifications.
  • Maintain effective communication between vessel crews and shoreside operations regarding technical issues and vessel readiness.
  • Travel to vessels, ports, and shipyards as required to support operational needs.

Requirements:
  • Strong marine engineering background with experience aboard ATBs, tugboats, tank barges, tankers, or similar commercial vessels.
  • Previous leadership experience as Chief Engineer, Port Engineer, Technical Superintendent, or Technical Manager is preferred.
  • In-depth knowledge of diesel propulsion, auxiliary machinery, electrical systems, and vessel maintenance.
  • Proven experience managing planned maintenance programs, vessel repairs, and shipyard projects.
  • Familiarity with USCG, ABS/class, and other regulatory requirements.
