Position Summary- TMMG is seeking a highly experienced Senior Marine Engineer – Ship Completion & Delivery to provide onsite engineering support during the completion, system startup, testing, regulatory closeout, and delivery of HOS 369 and HOS 370 at Eastern Shipbuilding Group's Port St. Joe facility.
- This is a senior, hands-on shipyard engineering position for an individual who can enter an active vessel completion program, quickly understand the design and current ship status, take ownership of engineering problems, and independently drive them to resolution.
- The successful candidate will have significant experience working in shipyards and marine design/engineering organizations and direct experience supporting vessels through construction, machinery and system startup, testing, commissioning, trials, regulatory/class closeout, and final delivery.
- This position requires an engineer who can operate with minimal supervision and direction. The individual must be comfortable moving between drawings and technical documentation, shipboard conditions, production, testing, vendors, regulatory requirements, and engineering problem resolution as vessel completion progresses.
- Provide senior-level onsite marine engineering support for HOS 369/370 during vessel completion, startup, testing, commissioning, and delivery.
- Independently investigate and resolve engineering issues affecting construction completion, system operation, testing, and vessel delivery.
- Support startup and commissioning of main propulsion, auxiliary machinery, piping, exhaust, fuel, cooling, lubrication, and other shipboard mechanical systems.
- Troubleshoot machinery and system problems identified during installation, startup, testing, and operation.
- Evaluate shipboard conditions against drawings, specifications, vendor technical information, regulatory requirements, and accepted marine engineering practices.
- Conduct ship checks and field investigations to identify existing conditions and develop practical engineering solutions.
- Review and develop engineering drawings, sketches, redlines, technical dispositions, calculations, and other documentation required to support production and vessel completion.
- Work directly with shipyard engineering, production, test personnel, vendors, and other stakeholders to resolve technical issues quickly and efficiently.
- Support test activities and investigate deficiencies identified during machinery startup, system testing, dock trials, sea trials, and other vessel acceptance activities.
- Assist in determining root causes of system or equipment performance problems and develop technically sound corrective actions.
- Evaluate field changes and proposed solutions for impacts to system functionality, interfaces, maintainability, safety, regulatory compliance, and vessel delivery.
- Support resolution and closeout of outstanding engineering, construction, testing, and regulatory items affecting vessel completion.
- Review vendor drawings, technical manuals, equipment information, and system documentation as required to resolve shipboard issues.
- Support regulatory and classification compliance activities as assigned.
- Provide engineering support for gas-fueled vessel requirements and applicable IGC Code matters when required.
- Coordinate engineering solutions across mechanical, electrical, structural, test, production, and regulatory disciplines when issues cross traditional engineering boundaries.
- Maintain clear documentation of technical issues, decisions, recommendations, and resolution status.
- Identify emerging technical risks that could affect system startup, testing, trials, schedule, or vessel delivery and elevate them to project leadership.
- Perform other senior marine engineering assignments necessary to support successful completion and delivery of HOS 369/370.
- Extensive professional…
