  • Oversee vessel maintenance programs, ensuring all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities are planned, coordinated, and executed in accordance with company policies and regulatory requirements.
  • Manage annual maintenance and engineering budgets, capital projects, vessel modifications, and fleet improvement initiatives while maintaining cost and schedule targets.
  • Direct dry-dock planning, In-Service Inspection Plans (ISIP), vessel repairs, and engineering projects, ensuring fleet reliability and operational readiness.
  • Investigate equipment, machinery, and systems failures, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence while improving long-term fleet performance.
  • Collaborate with operations, vessel crews, regulatory authorities, contractors, shipyards, and technical specialists to support safe and efficient marine operations and fleet growth initiatives.

Qualifications

  • Post-secondary education in Engineering or completion of an apprenticeship program leading to qualification as a Power, Stationary, or Marine Engineer.
  • Marine Certificate of Competency is preferred; equivalent experience in offshore, oil & gas, industrial, or heavy mechanical environments will also be considered.
  • Minimum 6 years of progressive supervisory or management experience leading maintenance, engineering, or technical teams in complex operational environments.
  • Strong technical knowledge of mechanical systems, rotating equipment, maintenance programs, reliability practices, and asset management principles.
  • Demonstrated leadership presence with excellent communication, relationship-building, coaching, and team development abilities.
