What employers look forFrom the Refrigeration Engineer guide
Captains and chief engineers hire people with a proper trade background. A refrigeration and air conditioning apprenticeship, three to five years of commercial or industrial work, and current F-Gas or EPA 608 certification are the usual baseline. Experience on chillers, VRF systems or cruise ship HVAC counts for a lot. You still need STCW and an ENG1 like any other crew member. Yachting experience helps, but a strong technician with no sea time can get a first job, especially through a chief engineer who needs a specialist.

QuestionsSee what a Refrigeration Engineer earns
What tickets should a Refrigeration Engineer CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 medical and F-Gas Category I (EU) or EPA Section 608 Universal (US) first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Refrigeration and air conditioning NVQ Level 3 and MCA Approved Engine Course (AEC) if you hold them.
How long should a Refrigeration Engineer CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
