 Marine Engineer 

4 stressfull months on board. Interview with 2nd engineer before going home. Improper vessel maintenance, and improper spares and consumables supply during many years have resulted with total tecnical chrisis and nearly loose of control over vessel Main event: 23 days stoppage in the middle of ocean. No spares for purifier made them out of order. Chief engineer has bypassed purifier and dirty fuel has destroyed fuel system. Other events: 7 emergency stoppages, 4 of them in congested waters during night time. Hard work and sleepless nights in order to keep vessel running. I would reccomend this video to spare departments and technical management of shipping companies. This is your chance to look into eyes of people by other side of your Desktop PC screen. #seafarers #shipping #technicalmanagement #shipmanagement #crewing #engineers https://lnkd.in/gtNdY-ay

Becoming a Marine Engineer: Ensuring Smooth Operations at Sea In the dynamic world of maritime operations, the role of a marine engineer is critical to the success and safety of a vessel. Having worked closely with marine engineers during my time at sea, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for the expertise and dedication required to keep a ship’s engine department running smoothly. Marine engineers are the unsung heroes of the maritime industry. Their primary responsibility is to maintain and repair the ship's machinery, ensuring that everything operates efficiently. This includes the main engines, auxiliary engines, pumps, electrical systems, and other critical components. One of the key aspects of a marine engineer’s job is preventative maintenance. This involves regular inspections and servicing of machinery to prevent breakdowns and ensure optimal performance. During my voyages, I observed how marine engineers meticulously check systems, replace worn-out parts, and fine-tune equipment. In emergencies, marine engineers are the first responders on board. Whether it’s dealing with engine failures, electrical issues, or other mechanical problems, they must diagnose and fix issues quickly to ensure the vessel’s safety. I’ve seen marine engineers work tirelessly under pressure, using their problem-solving skills and technical expertise to keep the ship operational.

“Hawaii is just one of the many places you get to travel to when working as a Field Service Engineer (FSE) with Northrop Grumman's MLS group” says Jamal K., who has been with NG since 2017. In his time with NG, he has gotten the opportunity to work in multiple roles in multiple locations and was just recently promoted to Field Service Engineering Manager. In his role as an FSE, he utilizes his engineering background and fundamental engineering skills to critically think through and solve problems on a day-to-day basis, as every day is different and you don’t encounter the same exact problems twice. He also really likes that his position has a direct impact on Navy fleets and more specifically, the safety of the fleet. Ensuring the safety of the fleet means that the when the men and women who fight for our country are doing their critical mission items they do not have to worry about the safety and integrity of the equipment and systems.   Other benefits of being in this role is that the Supervisors believe in you to make the right decisions and empower you to make those decisions. This gives you the autonomy and confidence to work independently. It also gives you extensive self-empowerment as you are not directly supervised, so you have a lot of freedom to make decisions/choices in collaboration with your team - using fundamental engineering skills. This doesn’t come automatically though; there is training involved. Training is intense. During training, SR engineers guide new employees and more junior FSE’s through obstacles so you are able to obtain firsthand direct experience. You start on more routine related jobs that get you outside your comfort zone - they won't set you up for failure – and eventually jobs get progressively more challenging with each opportunity you work on.   Being in an FSE role also means that you get to lead different organizations and teams. You get to collaborate with others to achieve a common goal. You are communicating with many different people, from mechanics to the CPT of the boat, from subcontractors to the commander of shipyards, etc, so you are essentially the face of the company and are expected to be the subject matter expert on these projects. Doing this, improves communication skills as you get to talk to people of a certain stature that you normally wouldn't, which is both exciting and nerve-wracking. As Jamal put it: “jobs like this do not come around very often.”   If you enjoy traveling and being in a role that allows you to problem solve on unique projects, all while obtaining great leadership experience, then this is the right opportunity for you!

There are times when conventional rigging equipment and off-the-shelf underwater tools are insufficient or inadequate to solve complex underwater challenges. Phoenix engineers routinely design specialty tools and equipment to enable divers to perform underwater tasks more efficiently and safely. In addition to their engineering credentials (marine/ocean, electrical, or mechanical), many of our engineers are professionally trained and certified commercial divers and routinely work alongside our full-time divers. Phoenix-designed diver tooling and equipment are created from a true ‘diver’ perspective, applying the hands-on diving experience of our engineers. https://lnkd.in/g8p8qNgQ #divertooling #underwaterengineering

PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL The date is 29.12.23 and it's a fairly busy day for line maintenance Engineers on the Ramp. Characterised by a number of flights with a mixed fleet of aircraft that require different attention and servicing, the engineers are present as usual to offer technical support and expertise. On this particular day, something happened that taught me a lesson in my professional life that has changed my attitude towards my work. An aircraft landed and as per requirement, I carried out a walk-around which is part of the 'Transit checklist'. what I can't recall is wether I was absent minded or I was not attentive to detail. I quickly rushed to the cockpit to meet the captain, who confirmed that the aircraft had no issues and he was happy. Upon coming out, I met my supervisor in my shift who had just carried a walk around and he noticed something. He asked me if I had carried out a walk around and had observed anything abnormal. I confirmed that everything was fine and all that was needed was to sign the Technical log book. With emphasis he repeated the question, "are you sure everything is okay?". I responded affirmatively that all was well. He told me to do the walk around again and this time with attention. I noticed that the thrust reverser was still unusually and abnormally open and I went back to him and reported what I had seen which he had already seen. We quickly worked on it and the aircraft had another flight a few minutes later. This to me was a negative experience as a junior engineer but I learnt something from it which help me become better. From the above experience, here is what I learnt about paying attention to detail in my duties: Having a good attention to detail as an engineer is crucial because it allows you to catch and address potential errors or issues before they become bigger problems. It helps ensure accuracy and precision in your work, leading to better quality and reliability in the engineering projects you undertake. Paying close attention to details can also help you identify potential improvements, optimize designs, and enhance overall efficiency. It's a valuable skill that can make a significant difference in your engineering career! As we end the year and reflect on all the successful projects we have done, we can equally learn something from our failures and make improvements. May we become the best we can be in 2024. #AircraftMaintenanceEngineering
