Job Description

Marine Mechanic / Marine Engineer
Location: East Cowes, Isle of Wight
Hours: Monday to Thursday | 37.5 hours per week
Pay: £15–£17 per hour
Contract: Temporary with potential for permanent opportunities

Pertemps Isle of Wight is currently recruiting for a Marine Mechanic / Marine Engineer to join a leading marine engineering business based in East Cowes.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a skilled and supportive team working on a variety of marine vessels and equipment. If you're a hands-on engineer or mechanic with strong mechanical skills and a passion for fault finding, repairs and maintenance, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • Diagnosing mechanical and engineering faults on marine equipment and vessels.

    • Carrying out servicing, repairs and preventative maintenance.

    • Installing, removing and overhauling marine engines and associated systems.

    • Working on propulsion systems, steering, fuel, hydraulic and cooling systems.

    • Reading and interpreting engineering drawings and technical manuals.

    • Ensuring all work is completed safely and to the highest quality standards.

    • Working collaboratively within a professional engineering team.

About You
We're looking for candidates who have:

  • Previous experience as a Marine Mechanic, Marine Engineer, Mechanical Technician or a similar hands-on mechanical role.

    • Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills.

    • Experience maintaining diesel engines, mechanical systems, vehicles, plant, machinery or other engineering equipment.

    • A practical, hands-on approach and the ability to work through mechanical problems.

    • The ability to work independently and as part of a team.

    • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to health and safety.

Transferable skills are welcomed.

You could be a Car Mechanic, HGV Technician, Plant Fitter, Agricultural Mechanic, Vehicle Technician, Maintenance Engineer or have a military engineering background and be looking for an opportunity to move into the marine industry.

Marine experience is advantageous but not essential for the right candidate — if you have strong mechanical skills and the right attitude, we encourage you to apply.

What's on Offer?
  • £15–£17 per hour, depending on experience.

    • Monday to Thursday working pattern – enjoy a long weekend every week.

    • Ongoing assignment with the opportunity for permanent employment.

    • On-site parking.

    • Weekly or monthly pay available.

    • Support from the dedicated Pertemps Isle of Wight team throughout your assignment.

If you're an experienced mechanic, technician or engineer looking for your next challenge — whether you already have marine experience or you're looking to transfer your skills into the marine industry — we'd love to hear from you.
