Great opportunity for an experienced, hands‑on Engineer to join a 60m MY for an extensive shipyard refit in Barcelona, running from October through to May 2027.

We are looking for a technically strong and self‑sufficient Engineer who is confident taking ownership of jobs and working independently without the need for constant supervision. This could suit someone with previous Sole Engineer or Chief Engineer experience, or an experienced yacht/ marine engineer who is comfortable being given a task and seeing it through from start to finish.

The yacht will be undergoing significant refit works, so candidates should be confident working on and servicing the typical machinery and systems found onboard 50m+ yachts. The role will be very hands‑on and will involve a variety of technical work, including stripping out systems, generator installations and general engineering/refit projects.

Additional skills such as electrical knowledge, fabrication, GRP repairs,



woodwork or other technical trades would be a strong advantage. Previous shipyard/refit/survey experience would be highly advantageous.

The idóneo candidate will be:

- Experienced, practical and technically confident
- Able to work autonomously and problem‑solve without constant direction
- Comfortable taking ownership of individual projects
- Hands‑on and happy to get stuck into all aspects of a major refit
- Experienced with larger yacht machinery and systems
- Ideally experienced in a shipyard/refit environment

PLEASE NOTE: Accommodation is not provided, so ideally looking for candidates already based in Barcelona or happy to arrange their own accommodation for the duration of the contract.

$6000–$6500 DOE.

Start date ideally before 15th October.

Temp contract fromOctober – May 2027.
