Engineering Officer Cadet

A trained marine engineering officer must ensure the smooth operation of the ship’s propulsion plants and support systems during the entire seafaring process. Experiencing career growth, an engineering officer is also offered excellent tax-free remuneration at an early stage of the career. As in the case of a navigation officer, an engineering officer will also work on a contract basis which makes it easier to plan work and family life.

Working independently and taking charge of one’s career, will also help create a plan that leads to a complete and satisfactory retirement once the days of adventure and exploration draw close.
