Engineering Technician Marine Engineering

[wank0r]

The REAL engineering is done by the leading rates, and the petty offiers and above.. The babies just clean, they get the shitty jobs

just applyed for Marine Engineering (Sub) yesterday :) but 40 week waiting list atm :(

[swaznat]

ime thinking about signing up for this but my brother just came back from serving asnsaid that the majority of guys on ship that hate being on their and get messed around by P,O's and tht are the M'E's so i dunno know. anyone got any advice?

@swaznat maybe look into the civilian sector. Pay is better, experience will still be gained and you will have more free time. I imagine that they have maritime schools in the U.K. like they do here in the U.S. There is a basic chain of command on civilian ships; however, ranking people show little superiority to their subordinates unless of course they need to. I worked on ships in the Louisiana oilfield but left to further my education. Overall pay was excellent and the experience was great.

[TheChiefEngineer]

Be a REAL engineer... join the Merchant Navy!

[kidwiz91]

@TheChiefEngineer if i graduate at a marine school in mexico, can i join a foreign navy?

[TheChiefEngineer]

@kidwiz91 If you get an STCW-95 compliant certificate of competency, then you will be able to join a shipping company anywhere, as long as you meet all immigration requirements. I recommend you join the Merchant Navy because your experience will be more limited in a military navy. (I've been an officer in the Royal Naval Reserve too)

[kidwiz91]

@TheChiefEngineer awesome, im really eager to graduate, two years left only. I would really like to work in a foreighn country cause here in mexico, merchant navy is not so big. Any recomendatios on where to apply for a job or where to start?
