They perform routine inspections, troubleshooting, and repairs to minimise downtime and ensure safe operations.

Your role

As a Fourth Engineer, you will support the Technical Department in the Engine Room or on deck, depending on operational needs. You will assist in watchkeeping, maintenance, and repair activities for a wide range of equipment, from propulsion and auxiliary systems to heavy-lift and pipelay machinery.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Support fuel and lubrication oil transfers and ensure compliance with environmental and safety standards.
• Identify and report technical defects, damage, or abnormal conditions.
• Participate in planned maintenance, troubleshooting, and equipment overhauls.
• Keep work areas clean and operationally ready, whether in machinery spaces or on deck.
• Take part in emergency drills and carry out duties as per the station bill.
• Follow Allseas’ safety management systems, including Permit to Work, Toolbox Talks, and Stop Work Authority.
• Proactively develop technical skills and knowledge to handle both deck and engine-related systems.
