• Conducting safety drills and ensuring emergency preparedness protocols are in place.
• Keeping detailed logs of maintenance activities and daily occurrences.
• Collaborating with maritime authorities and local agencies to uphold safety standards.

• High school diploma or equivalent; further education in marine safety or navigation is a plus.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and experience with electrical systems.
• Ability to work independently and make decisions under pressure.
• Exceptional communication skills for interacting with the public, maritime officials, and team members.
