Cruise Ship Engine Jobs – Great Alternatives for Your Job
If you have experience working on engines but are tired of the same schedule and scenery day after day, consider taking a break from your current job and apply for one of the many engine related jobs on a cruise line ship. Not only will your scenery change, but you’ll also be able to travel to some of the most exotic places in the world, free of charge. In fact, you’ll even receive a salary for your hard work and you’ll be able to take advantage of some of the ship’s offerings such as a fitness center, spa and other activities. And on your days off, you’ll be able to explore pristine beaches, colorful marketplaces and other must-see sites and attractions. Here is a list of some of the engine related jobs that are often advertised in the paper.
Chief engineer
This position has a tremendous amount of responsibility. This person is in charge of all aspects of running the ship, whether it deals with electrical, mechanical or engineering matters. It requires a vast amount of experience in a similar position, as well as a solid maritime educational background. Salaries tend to be on the high side, from anywhere from $5500 to close to $9000 per month (plus free room and board).
Chief electrician
The chief electrician is responsible for overseeing the entire ship’s electrical system, which includes the maintenance and overall operation of that system. If there were other electricians on board, the chief electrician would be responsible for their supervision (though electricians need to be able to function independently). Experience is definitely required and salaries range from about $3000 to $4000 each month.
Other electricians
Most cruise vessels employ more than just a chief or main electrician. These electricians are responsible for maintaining the various voltage systems throughout the ship. Previous experience on electrical voltage systems is required. Salaries are approximately $2000 per month.
Motormen
A motorman keeps the ship’s engines well maintained at all times and works under the direction of the chief engineer. Experience is required and the pay is from about $1500 to $2000 per month.
Cruise deals offer competitive prices when compared to land/air packages.
