- Preparing service reports
- Work according to applicable safety and quality standards
Who are we looking for?

- Diesel mechanic
- Overhaul technician
- Field Service Engineer
- Marine Service Engineer
- Marine engineer
- Heavy engine technician
- Technician in the maritime or industrial maintenance sector
Experience with medium- or slow-speed marine diesel engines is a strong plus. Have you primarily worked on large diesel engines, generators, industrial engines, or mobile machinery? Even then, we would love to get in touch with you.
Ready for a new technical challenge?
Do you want to work on various brands of marine diesel engines and apply your experience to diverse projects in the workshop and on board? Then apply as an Experienced Marine Engine Service Technician at Damen Schelde Marine Services.
