Senior Marine Electronics Engineer

Description:

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Marine Electronics Engineer to join a specialist marine electronics service team. This is a hands-on technical role with genuine leadership responsibility — you'll be conducting installations, surveys, and repairs across a variety of vessel types, mentoring junior engineers, and acting as a key point of contact for clients.

This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned professional who wants to take ownership of complex projects, develop client relationships, and step into a deputising role when needed.

What You'll Be Doing

* Installing, commissioning, maintaining, and repairing marine navigational and communications equipment onboard vessels and at client premises

* Conducting safety surveys of merchant vessels in line with SOLAS requirements and relevant Classification Society or MCA standards

* Leading and mentoring a team of Electronics Engineers on complex projects

* Providing technical support to customers and liaising with sales and service agents

* Preparing estimates and quotes for clients and the internal sales team

* Supporting business development — identifying and promoting relevant products and services during client interactions

* Building and maintaining client relationships alongside the Principal Engineer and Regional Sales Manager

* Deputising for the Principal Engineer in their absence, reporting directly to the Service Manager

What We're Looking For

Essential

* HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in an Electronics or Electrical discipline

* Proven experience in a marine electronics service environment

* In-depth knowledge of marine navigation and communications systems

* Strong track record in customer service and client-facing roles

* Full UK driving licence

* Willingness to travel within the UK and internationally as required

Desirable

* GMDSS Operator's Certificate

* Radio survey experience

* BOSIET or OLF certification

* Manufacturer training courses in navigation or communications equipment

About You

You'll be a confident communicator who can engage equally well with engineers, clients, and commercial stakeholders. You'll bring both technical depth and commercial awareness — understanding that good engineering and good business sense go hand in hand. A solid working knowledge of the UK maritime market, including key suppliers, will be a real advantage.

Working Conditions

This is a full-time role that requires regular UK and international travel. Flexibility with working hours and a willingness to undertake overtime are expected. The role combines field-based and office-based working. Requirements include:

* Use of display screen equipment

* Working at height (harness training required; annual recertification)

* Medical fitness assessment

* Potential security clearance requirement depending on project assignments
