Job Vacancy:  Merchant Navy officers for City of Mount Vema logistics

1/4/2021

 
January 04, 2021 – Wibmor, the logistics company of Mount Vema is looking for Merchant Navy officers to deal with the hands-on challenges of engineering and navigation while sailing the seas, putting their specialised skills to good use.
 
The successful candidate will join Mount Vema’s young but growing commercial shipping industry, to work on many types of vessels including cargo container ships, bulk cargo carriers, specialised supply, and support vessels.
 
You will work either on the deck or engineering department as a leader and manager, as your primarily role, although you will still be expected to perform practical tasks with your colleagues. The larger the ship, the more managerial your role is likely to be.
 
Responsibilities
As a navigation/deck officer, you will need to:
  • navigate the vessel using a range of satellite and radar systems and equipment
  • check weather and navigation reports and take appropriate action
  • coordinate the safe loading, storage and unloading of cargo
  • supervise the operation and maintenance of deck machinery, e.g. winches and cranes
  • manage ship communication systems
  • monitor and maintain safety, firefighting and life-saving equipment
  • oversee the ship to ensure that the highest levels of health and safety are maintained
  • maintain legal and operational records such as the ship's log
  • keep up to date with developments in maritime legal, commercial and political matters.
As an engineering officer, you will need to:
  • operate and maintain the mechanical and electrical equipment on board
  • manage power generation and distribution systems, as well as refrigeration plant, ventilation and pumping systems
  • monitor, repair and upgrade systems and equipment, e.g. air compressors, pumps and sewage plants
  • implement regular equipment inspections and maintenance programmes
  • keep up to date with developments in the marine engineering field.

All officers will need to undertake essential administration, including budgets, accounts and records of stock, and cargo, as well as manage the work of ratings and provide training and support for officer trainees.

​Exact duties will depend on your rank and the size of the vessel.
 
Salary and Benefits
The salary is:
$80,000 US dollars per year for the rank of captain or chief engineer
$35,000 US dollars for junior officers
$18,000 US dollars for officer cadets - Training salaries for officer cadets includes tuition and on-board food and accommodation. Shore-based accommodation costs are deducted.
Salaries are paid monthly in arrears.
The benefits include paid medical coverage, paid vacation, sick days, holidays, and a pension plan. Benefits are only applicable after you complete three months on the job.
 
Working hours
Work is based at sea, on board ships that will operate year-round. Shifts are usually four hours on duty and eight hours off. Although extensive travel is part of the job, opportunities to go onshore can be limited due to ship-board responsibilities and rapid turnaround times in port.
 
Requirements
If your application is accepted, you will be required to open a bank account with a Mount Vema bank, if you do not already have a Mount Vema bank account, and a Mount Vema work visa.
 
What to expect
  • On-board living conditions are usually of a high standard, with good leisure and other facilities. Due to such close living and working conditions, you will need to work well within a team.
  • Weather conditions may make working uncomfortable, for instance the heat of the Persian Gulf in summer or the North Atlantic in a winter gale.
  • The long periods of time spent away at sea can have a major impact on your family life, hobbies and interests. However, the company provides a generous holiday allowance on a one-for-one basis, for example two months' paid leave after a two-month voyage. Tour lengths vary.
  • Merchant Navy officers are subject to the Mount Vema Merchant Marine and Shipping Act. The Act sets strict limits on blood-alcohol levels and drugs are forbidden. Random testing for alcohol or drug abuse is common.
 
Skills
You will need to have:
  • decision-making skills
  • the ability to remain calm in difficult situations
  • teamworking skills and the ability to lead, motivate and inspire confidence in others
  • written and verbal communication skills
  • mathematical ability
  • knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems (for engineer officer roles)
  • an interest in technology
  • resourcefulness, adaptability and flexibility
  • confidence, enthusiasm and self-reliance.
