London Based Sole Engineer

We are currently recruiting for a Marine Engineer to join a well-established luxury passenger vessel operator based in London. Supporting a fleet of event vessels operating on the River Thames, this is a varied and hands-on role responsible for ensuring vessels remain safe, reliable and fully operational throughout a busy events schedule.

The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across a range of marine systems, including engines, hotel systems, pumping systems, electrical equipment and galley machinery. You will also support vessel operations, assist with event preparation and pack-down, and work closely with the wider team to ensure each vessel is ready for daily operations.

The fleet includes three passenger vessels hosting a variety of events, including weddings, corporate functions, birthday celebrations and restaurant cruises. With vessels carrying up to 180 passengers and one vessel having recently completed a major refit, this role offers the opportunity to work within a unique marine environment where no two days are the same.

Due to the nature of the business, flexibility is essential as the role will involve occasional weekends, evening work and on-call responsibilities during busy periods. Accommodation is available when late finishes make travelling home impractical.

This opportunity would suit an experienced Marine Engineer who enjoys working in a close-knit team environment and takes pride in maintaining high standards. The successful candidate will be proactive, adaptable and willing to support wider vessel operations when required.
