Chief Engineer

Chief Engineer, cable-laying, Ro-Ro, SOV and research vessels

• Contract: CDI (permanent)

LD Armateurs is looking for Chief Engineers for its growing fleet of Ro-Ro ships, cable-laying vessels, service operation vessels (SOVs) and research ships. The ships trade worldwide, from Alaska to Tasmania, and fly the French International Register (RIF) flag, which can bring tax benefits. This is a permanent contract (CDI). Pay follows experience and the company's current salary scale (no figure is given). The company mentions ENIM social cover, training and development, and room to progress within the group. As Chief Engineer you would be responsible for the ship's technical plant: keeping propulsion and power generation available and reliable, planning preventive and corrective maintenance, leading the engine team, and meeting safety and environmental rules. On the cable ships you would work with the deck team, ETO, ROV and survey staff, and with scientific personnel. Requirements: an unlimited Chief Engineer licence or a certificate compatible with the ships concerned; valid STCW documents, medical, passport, seaman's book, vaccinations and any special courses. Experience already in rank is appreciated. Knowledge of diesel-electric propulsion, offshore equipment or other highly technical ships is an advantage, as are an IGF certificate and DP or offshore operating experience. Professional English (read, written and spoken) is required.
