About me
I’m a professionally registered engineer with over 29 years of at-sea engineering experience. Having trained in the Royal Navy and remained for 24 years, I also gained some commercial experience before moving to the superyacht sector. Holding the Small Vessel Chief Engineer CoC (3000GT 9000kW), I am seeking a long term rotational position. In my career, I have sailed as Chief Engineer on an 82m expedition vessel as well as Second Engineer on two naval 133m ships. My yachting career has seen me progress from sole engineer on smaller yachts through to Second Engineer on a 70m Lürssen and now as a Chief Engineer on a 68m Nobiskrug. I am a hands-on engineer with a multi-manufacturer engine maintainer background and have worked extensively as a gas turbine and propulsion equipment engineer. I am familiar with the service and repair of a wide variety of yacht equipment and have extensive IDEA PMS experience and I pride myself on my attention to detail. In addition, I have considerable naval build experience as well as refit experience with a wide variety of vessels. I am a great team player and have spent long periods within sea-going vessels and I have a great rapport with other crew members. I’m always well presented and with my background in military and civilian VIP engagement, guest interaction is second nature to me. Furthermore, I am entirely capable of working alone to achieve positive and timely outcomes due to my strong organisational skills.
