What employers look forFrom the Tender Engineer guide
The role only really exists on yachts over about 70m. Smaller boats give this work to a deckhand or the third engineer. Captains and chief engineers hire people with proven mechanical experience: dealership technicians, marina mechanics, motorsport or powersports engineers. Manufacturer training on Yamaha, Mercury, Volvo Penta, Hamilton or Castoldi jets carries real weight. Ex-deckhands who have spent years keeping the toys running also move across, usually once they have an AEC and some time in the engine room.
