What employers look forFrom the Engine Fitter guide
Chiefs hire fitters with a completed apprenticeship: marine engineering, diesel plant, heavy plant, HGV or industrial maintenance. Time with MTU, Caterpillar or MAN dealers is valued. Navy and merchant fleet artificers move across well. You need STCW basic safety and an ENG1, and you must be tidy and safe in a confined space. Crew who know how to keep a workshop organised and log hours honestly get rehired.
