"Silent forces come into their own

In twelve years I've grown from Junior to Lead Engineer. Since mid-2023 I've been leading projects and working closely with clients, often under tight deadlines. That pressure makes the work dynamic, and the relaxed team atmosphere keeps it enjoyable. At Saltwater, "anything is possible" isn't just a motto, it's how we work.

I look forward to teaming up with a new Marine Engineer to keep growing and building long-term client relationships. What will you bring to the table?
