What employers look forFrom the Rotational Engineer guide
Owners and captains offer rotation to keep good engineers. It also helps on flag and MLC compliance, and it means the engine room keeps running in summer. Most rotational jobs need a solid track record. A full-time season or two on a similar yacht, an MCA Y4 or higher, and references from a chief who will vouch for your handovers count for more than anything on paper. Junior and AEC holders rarely start on rotation. It is something you earn.

QuestionsSee what a Rotational Engineer earns
What tickets should a Rotational Engineer CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 medical certificate, PDSD and MCA Y4 or higher Engineer CoC first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Engine Room Resource Management and HELM(M) if you hold them.
How long should a Rotational 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.
