- Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in field service, ideally involving marine propulsion or industrial power generation systems, demonstrating a blend of field-service and design/engineering experience.
- Naval Expertise : Minimum 5 years demonstrated understanding of naval vessel operations or previous experience working within a military/government maritime environment.
- Technical Skills: Minimum 5 years’ experience with PLC programming, control systems, and high-voltage power distribution. Strong working knowledge of maritime technical standards and Configuration Management principles.
- Soft Skills: Proven ability to work independently in high-pressure, time-sensitive environments; excellent interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration.
