Summary

Sole Engineer – 39m Motor Yacht | Exciting New Opportunity

We are on the lookout for a passionate and adventurous Chief Engineer to join an incredible new program aboard a 39m motor yacht. Recently acquired by enthusiastic new owners and currently undergoing a transformative refit, this is a rare opportunity to be part of a fresh, dynamic start with a motivated and experienced crew.

About the Program:

This is more than just a role — it’s a lifestyle. The yacht’s program is centered around watersports, off-the-beaten-path exploration, and active adventure. With a supportive, hands-on crew and a positive onboard culture, you'll be joining a team that values teamwork, energy, and initiative.

  • Toys & Tenders:
  • 55ft Wajer chase boat

  • One jet ski
  • AV/IT: Strong AV/IT troubleshooting and systems knowledge required
  • Hands-On Skills: Comfort with driving tenders and jet skis is a must
  • Bonus: Watersports background (e.g., kitesurfing) is a strong plus


What We’re Looking For:

  • A proactive, self-motivated engineer who thrives in a team-oriented environment
  • Experience on similar-sized vessels or strong relevant background
  • AV/IT savvy with the ability to troubleshoot and maintain entertainment and navigation systems
  • Someone ready to get involved across departments when needed — this is a true team effort
