FINAL Marine Engine Room Crew
www.careersinoilandgas.com
MARINE ENGINE ROOM CREW #ChiefEngineer #SecondEngineer #Cadet #Pumpman When it comes to offshore oil and gas exploration and operations, you are a key member of a crew that keeps the equipment humming on ships and marine vessels. You operate and maintain equipment and operations that keeps the ship or vessel functioning – engines, boilers, deck machinery, electrical, sanitary and refrigeration equipment. Much of the equipment is integral to the safety of the vessel. You rise to the challenge like an ocean at high tide.
What does this career look like? Gauges, valves and pumps are your world at sea. You’re proactive in safeguarding against equipment failures. At one time a Marine Engine Room Crew Member would start the engine and do all checks manually. Now, much of the equipment on board is operated by electronics and computerized systems. Being electronically inclined is increasingly important. A lot of troubleshooting, however, does involve good old-fashioned fix-it skills. A certified crew consists of a Chief Engineer, Second Engineer, Third Engineer, Fourth Engineer and Marine Engineer Trainee. A non-certified crew consists of Junior Engineers, Pumpmen, Oilers and Wipers. Their duties include basic maintenance and operation, such as keeping all equipment lubricated and clean.

What would I do? You make sure the ship runs efficiently by maintaining its power, remote control systems, generators, motors, pumps, turbines and more. Safety rests with you when it comes to ensuring the proper operation of lifeboats and emergency alarms. Responsibilities increase as one progresses from trainee to Chief Engineer. This crew operates, troubleshoots and monitors all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, refrigeration, water treatment and propulsion systems on the vessel. They also keep watch on deck. As a member of the engineer room crew, you might start your day making your rounds on the ship, monitoring and inspecting machinery and equipment, reading meters, checking pressures, batteries and alarms.

HOW DO I GET HERE? Educational requirements for this occupation vary depending on the role. For non-certified crew members, the minimum requirement is a high school diploma (or equivalent). For certified crew members, certification from Transport Canada is required and progresses with increasing responsibilities from Fourth Class to First Class Marine Engineer. To achieve a leadership position in marine operations, many employers require a technology diploma or degree in nautical studies combined with relevant experience.
