Endorsements and specialties that pay

• Liquefied natural gas and tanker endorsements

  Specialist cargo training that raises your day rate and narrows the competition.

• Dynamic positioning

  Used on offshore supply and construction vessels that hold position without anchors.

• Steam and gas turbine time

  Fewer engineers hold current steam experience every year, which makes the ones who do valuable.

• Civilian government sailing

  The Navy's civilian crewed support fleet hires engineers and posts jobs on the federal hiring site.

• Shoreside work

  Port engineer, marine surveyor, shipyard or power plant. Most engineers come ashore eventually and the license is what gets them the job.
