An amazing opportunity has become available for an engineer holding a Y3 or MEC 3 COC to go semi shore based on a high profile 50m private MY in Sydney, Australia

 

The vessel is low use and is used for private trips only, consisting of mostly day / weekend style cruises.

The Chief engineer will have solid engineering backup on this vessel with plenty of engineering support.

The yacht is very flexible on location and nationality and will consider engineers worldwide.

 

The vessel is also flexible if the chief engineer would prefer to live onboard or ashore in Sydney

The vessel has the option for sponsoring a foreign engineer and therefore could be a unique opportunity for a foreign passport holder to live and work out in Sydney, Australia

 

The position could also suit an Australian / NZ chief engineer wanting a shore-based existence in one location.

This is a non-rotational role but will be based on 5 day working week with reasonable working hours.

 

The Ideal Candidate

• Hold Y3 or MEC 3 (or similar)

• Superyacht engineering experience

• Hands on, excellent troubleshooter

• Strong preventative maintenance skills

• Can work well within a professional team

• Interested in a shore-based yacht opportunity

• Good project management skills

• Will offer a firm commitment.

 

Start: Within 4 weeks with handover

 

Salary: $180,000-$200,000 AUD + Super / Year (as a recruiter guide, DOE)
