The Junior Marine Gas Turbine Technician – Operation and Field Support is an entry-level role focused on assisting in the operation, inspection, troubleshooting, and basic maintenance of marine gas turbine propulsion and power systems. The technician will work under supervision to support both shipboard and onshore service tasks, contributing to operational readiness and performance reliability across naval and commercial marine vessels.
Assist with routine operation and monitoring of marine gas turbine propulsion systems onboard ships or test platforms.
Support field maintenance activities, including inspection, lubrication, filter changes, and system checks.
Aid in start-up, shutdown, and performance monitoring procedures during sea trials or port operations.
Help collect and log engine operating data, vibration readings, and temperature/pressure measurements.
Participate in system troubleshooting under supervision, including alarms, sensor faults, or fuel system issues.
Work alongside senior technicians during field service visits, overhaul preparations, and component replacements.
Maintain a clean and safe work environment, following all marine safety protocols and EHS guidelines.
Ensure accurate and timely reporting of tasks, checklists, and parts usage through maintenance logs or service reports.
Assist with tool and spare part inventory during deployments or dockyard activities.
Follow OEM and fleet-specific standard operating procedures (SOPs) for engine care and handling.
