About
I’m a qualified EOOW currently pursuing my 2nd Engineer Unlimited ticket. With a background in working on yachts of various sizes and commercial ships, I excel in operating in remote locations with limited access resources. I approach my work with diligence, ensuring minimal disruption to yacht operations while upholding safety and industry standards. As a highly self-motivated individual and adept problem solver, I tackle challenges in a safe, cost-effective manner. I am known for my respectful demeanour, great sense of humour and laid back yet professional attitude. I am confident that my skills and attributes will make me a great asset to any yacht.

I thoroughly enjoy football both spectating and partaking; I ran my own adult football team at a young age for several seasons which helped improve my communication and organisational skills. I enjoy playing squash and getting out on my bike as much as possible. I am a highly sociable person that enjoys attending and hosting social gatherings as well as attending music concerts, festivals and stand-up comedy shows. I also thoroughly enjoy visiting different countries and experiencing different cultures.
Experience
Temporary 2nd Engineer
I was employed as a temporary 2nd engineer/day worker to provide assistance and cover leave during the boat’s 5 year survey. I was mainly tasked with the removal, overhauling and refitting of most pumps on board along with overseeing and organising contractors’ daily work.
Temporary 3rd Engineer
I was employed as a temporary 3rd engineer to cover the leave of the permanent 3/E whilst the boat crossed the Atlantic from Italy – Maine, USA. During my time on board, I was asked to extend my temp contract for another 3 weeks upon the arrival of the boat stateside. This was my first time working with diesel-electric systems on board yachts, having worked with them on commercial cruise ships. During my time on board, I was mainly responsible for tender maintenance, watchkeeping and keeping on top of the planned maintenance system.
Temporary 2nd Engineer
I was employed as a temporary 2nd Engineer to cover the leave of the 2nd Engineer. The first week of my month on board was spent getting the boat ready for a 3 week boss/charter trip. This was the first time I’d experienced charter trips due to working on private yachts previously and felt the increase in passenger capacity and activity was easily manageable. It was also my first experience working with Crestron which was much more user friendly than previous AV/IT systems that I’d worked with.
