Hi all,
I have a fair idea of the training pipeline for a marine engineer (submariner) up to the point of the first competent job, but from there everything becomes a little obscure.
What scope is there for 'specialisation'? Do each of the engineers train to become specialists in a particular area? I.e. in gas turbines, hydraulics, air systems etc. Or are they all just 'general' engineers?
I was actually asked about specialisation at my career discussion interview, and was quite baffled to be honest.
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
