Summary

42m Private, Cayman Island flagged, Motor Yacht is seeking an engineer with minimum SV EOOW, for an 8 week on / off rotation with a start date November 2024. The yacht has just completed their 20 year ABS survey, a full paint job and a complete re-alignment of the running gear, plus a lot more. The yacht is currently in West Palm Beach, departing the first week of November for the West Coast Costa Rica. From here the 2025 season involves, Costa Rica, Baja, West Coast USA, then up to Alaska, with the reciprocal program after summer. This is not your regular ‘white boat’ and has a heavy fishing program exploring the beaten path and not the regular yachting milk runs. Having a passion for fishing would be a positive but is not a pre-requisite. 

The current departing Chief Engineer has been onboard 6 years so we are looking for a candidate with proven longevity and a long commitment to the yacht. The candidate must have experience working as a solo engineer or extensive experience as a 2nd Engineer on larger yachts 50m-80m, who is capable of running the engineering department without being oversee.  Candidates must be comfortable working on MTU main engines (4000 series) as well as the other usual large yacht systems, Northern Lights Generators, Atlas shore power, Quantum Hydraulics, Water Maker, Head Hunter etc.

The engineering department has a very detailed work log and maintenance schedule system set up, similar to the ‘Idea yacht management software’ system. Candidates must not only keep up with scheduled maintenance and unscheduled jobs but also must maintain logs into the system, excel skills will be needed. The ideal candidate will be someone who has a plan to continually upgrade courses to further increase their knowledge base and progression in the industry.

The package includes all flight, medical and dental insurance with salary dependent on experience, at industry standard or above.
