Serco Maritime have a new and exciting opportunity for an Apprentice to join the team in Plymouth completing a Level 4 Small Vessel Chief Engineer apprenticeship. 


Serco Maritime Services deliver maritime support packages tailored to our customers’ needs all delivered within a national accreditation framework.

This is a unique apprenticeship where you will undertake the required training and sea service to eventually obtain the qualification required to serve as a Chief Engineer on board one of our smaller vessels.


The course will include gaining on the job experience by serving on board Serco operated vessels and periods of study at the Fleetwood Nautical Campus of Blackpool & The Fylde College. Periods at colleges will vary but will normally be between 2-6 weeks. This will allow you to gain the knowledge skills and behaviours required to complete the assessments you will undergo throughout the apprenticeship including the end point assessment undertaken with IAMI, which will enable you to gain a Small Vessel Chief Engineer COC.

  • To complete assigned mechanical and electrical workshop training, demonstrating safe and responsible attitudes.
  • To become competent in maintenance duties including planned and unplanned maintenance duties on all items of main and auxiliary machinery on assigned vessels. This may include heavy maintenance in dry dockings and refits.
  • To assist in vessel statutory inspections and classification surveys of assigned vessels, attaining knowledge of relevant rules and regulations.
  • To undertake training and demonstrate competence to deal with emergency situations afloat, including fire, sea survival and other courses.
  • To attain and demonstrate a good working knowledge of company procedures relating to the engineering department including record keeping, ordering spares and safety procedures.
  • To obtain the required sea service in the time period allocated by the Maritime Training Officer.
  • To comply with the UK Merchant Navy Code of Conduct at all times
  • To undertake other duties and training commensurate with the level of the post as may be reasonably required from time to time.

 

What you’ll need to do the role:

 

  • Eligible for UK passport 
  • Capable of obtaining an ENG1 Unrestricted Medical Certificate including eyesight examination. An offer of apprenticeship will be made subsequent to obtaining ENG1 certificate.
  • Academic Qualifications – preferred GCSE Mathematics and a Physical Based Science at a Grade B or above. Minimum 4 GCSEs at grade C or above including Mathematics, English and Physical Based Science or equivalent qualifications from Scotland or Northern Ireland.
