What employers look forFrom the Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) guide
Most ETOs come from shoreside electrical work, the merchant navy or the military. A recognised electrical qualification and real hands-on experience count for more than yacht time at first. Captains and chief engineers want someone who can read a single-line diagram, fix a fault on a 690V board safely, and explain it plainly afterwards. Experience with Crestron, Kaleidescape, Cisco networking or specific automation platforms such as Praxis or Kongsberg will set your CV apart.
