There may also be a requirement for some weekend flexibility, depending on vessel arrival and discharge schedules. The exact requirements and flexibility expected can be discussed in more detail during the interview.
If you have a practical, mechanical or industrial background and are looking for a hands-on role where no two days are necessarily the same, we would love to hear from you.
