What I'm looking for

I am seeking a sea-going engineering role where I can lead engine-room maintenance, implement emissions compliance (IMO Tier III/SCR), use PMS expertise, mentor crew, and work within a safety-focused, proactive team committed to continuous improvement.

I am a Class B marine engineer with more than a decade of sea-going experience, promoted from Apprentice to Engineer Class C and now certified Class B. I specialize in 2‑ and 4‑stroke engine overhauls, routine and preventive maintenance, and independent engine-room watchkeeping.

I have implemented SCR systems to meet IMO Tier III and ensured SIRE 2.0 compliance while using PMS (AMMOS Business Suite) to optimize maintenance workflows. I bring hands-on troubleshooting, spare-parts management, mentoring of junior crew, and a safety-first, solution-oriented approach to vessel operations.
