Electrical / Mechanical Engineer – Marine

Location: West Wales

Employment Type: Contract

Bring Your Engineering Skills Onboard

Are you an Electrical or Mechanical Engineer looking for a role where you can put your technical knowledge into practice and work on exciting marine projects?

We’re working with an established organisation within the marine sector that is looking to strengthen its engineering team with an experienced Electrical / Mechanical Engineer.

This is a varied, hands-on position supporting the delivery of vessel projects from build and installation through to testing, commissioning and final handover. You’ll work closely with engineering and production teams to ensure equipment and systems are installed correctly, operate safely and perform as intended.

The Role

You’ll play an important part in the delivery of vessel systems, providing technical support both on the build floor and throughout the wider project.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting the installation and integration of electrical and/or mechanical systems onboard vessels
• Reading and interpreting engineering drawings, schematics and technical documentation
• Carrying out inspections, testing, fault-finding and troubleshooting
• Identifying and resolving technical issues during vessel build
• Working closely with production and engineering teams to deliver practical solutions
• Supporting equipment installation and system integration
• Liaising with suppliers and contractors where required
• Assisting with commissioning and final testing of systems
• Ensuring work is completed in line with technical specifications, quality standards and safety requirements
• Providing practical engineering input throughout the build process

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the engineering and seeing projects come together. You’ll have the opportunity to work on complex marine systems and gain exposure to the complete vessel build process.

• Specialist marine environment – Develop your career within an exciting and technically demanding industry.
• Hands‑on engineering – Spend time close to the build, troubleshooting and solving practical engineering challenges.
• Varied vessel projects – Work across different builds and systems, keeping the role interesting and varied.
• Technical development – Broaden your knowledge of marine electrical and/or mechanical systems.
• Collaborative team – Work alongside experienced engineers, technicians and production specialists.
• Visible impact – See your work contribute directly to fully operational vessels.
• Career opportunity – Develop your skills and experience within a specialist engineering environment.

About You

We’re interested in speaking with Electrical or Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Technicians and experienced engineering professionals who enjoy a practical, hands‑on environment.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in electrical or mechanical engineering
• Experience within marine, shipbuilding, offshore, defence, manufacturing or another complex engineering environment
• The ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics or engineering documentation
• Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving skills
• A practical and proactive approach to engineering
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• A strong focus on quality, safety and getting the job done right

Your Next Engineering Challenge

If you’re looking for an opportunity where you can combine technical engineering knowledge with practical, hands‑on project work, this could be a great next step.

You’ll be joining a specialist environment, working on real vessel projects and developing experience across installation, integration, testing and commissioning
