Job Description

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Fleet Engineer to join a well-established marine engineering business supporting a busy commercial fleet operating on the River Thames. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on engineer looking to take the next step in their career, combining practical engineering with fleet management responsibilities across a diverse fleet of commercial vessels.

The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the maintenance, servicing and repair of multiple vessels, ensuring the fleet remains safe, compliant and fully operational. Day-to-day duties will include planned preventative maintenance, responding to breakdowns, coordinating refits, managing engineering stock and producing maintenance reports, while also supervising and mentoring two junior engineers. Working closely with the Fleet Captain, you will play a key role in planning engineering works and ensuring projects are delivered efficiently.

This role offers a high level of autonomy, allowing you to manage your own workload while remaining actively involved in the day-to-day engineering of the fleet. It would suit an experienced marine engineer with a strong commercial background who is looking to transition into a leadership position without losing the hands-on aspect of the role. With a Monday to Friday working pattern and excellent opportunities for long-term career development, this is an ideal position for someone seeking greater responsibility and an improved work-life balance.
