Singapore
Faststream is partnering with a marine and port services operator in Singapore, running a compact, fleet of container vessels (Port-Limit Vessels). They are looking for a hands-on Technical Superintendent to take ownership of the technical management of a small fleet, working closely with vessel crews to keep operations safe, compliant, and reliable.
This is a great opportunity for a marine engineer who wants to move fully ashore into a focused, high-ownership technical role — you'll be one of the key people responsible for a defined group of vessels.
The Role
- Oversee the technical management and operational readiness of assigned vessels to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations
- Ensure compliance with Class, Flag State, MPA, ISM Code, MARPOL, MLC, and internal company requirements
- Plan, monitor and coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance of all vessel machinery and equipment
- Manage dry docking, repairs, surveys and major overhauls within approved budgets and schedules
- Provide technical support and guidance to Masters and Chief Engineers on operational and maintenance matters
- Investigate machinery failures, breakdowns and technical incidents, and implement corrective/preventive actions
- Monitor vessel performance, equipment reliability and maintenance trends to minimise downtime
- Manage and monitor PMS implementation and maintenance records onboard
- Prepare and manage technical budgets, repair quotations, procurement requirements and cost control
- Ensure timely procurement and availability of critical spare parts and consumables
- Conduct vessel inspections and technical audits against company and regulatory standards
- Support emergency response and provide technical assistance during vessel incidents or breakdowns
- Diploma/Degree in Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
- Strong technical grasp of marine machinery and Container vessel systems is essential — a COC2 with prior sailing experience as Second Engineer is advantageous but not a strict requirement
- Shore-based experience as a Technical Superintendent preferred
- Proven track record in dry docking and major repairs
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills for marine machinery and systems
- Good working knowledge of Class and statutory requirements
- Experience managing planned maintenance systems (PMS) and preventive maintenance programmes
