The role overhauls, tests and reassembles mechanical components to OEM specification and class requirements. The mechanic is also mobilized onboard for breakdown and planned maintenance work when required.\nThe role reports to the Workshop Foreman and works closely with the machining, fabrication, and stores teams. Safety, quality records and component traceability are essential parts of the job.\n Hydraulic cylinders (light and heavy-duty)\nDismantle, inspect and measure rods, barrels, pistons, glands and end fittings against OEM tolerances.\nDecide whether to repair, re-chrome, or replace parts based on their condition.\nFit seal kits and wear bands to OEM drawings, then reassemble to the specified torque.\nBench test (proof pressure, internal leakage, stroke, cushioning) and record the results.\nBearing blocks and sheave assemblies\nDismantle and inspect bearing blocks, bearings, shafts, housings, seals and sheave grooves.\nFit bearings with the correct fit, clearance, preload, lubrication and sealing.\nCheck alignment, axial clearance and free rotation after assembly.\nClutches and brakes (hydraulic and pneumatic)\nOverhaul multi-disc, band, jaw, shoe and air-actuated clutches, including actuators, rotary unions and friction elements.\nMeasure wear, set clearances and verify engagement and release function per the OEM manual.\nGearboxes\nStrip, inspect and rebuild reduction, planetary and winch gearboxes.\nAssess gear wear patterns, set backlash and bearing preload, check contact patterns, then fill and run test.\nDredge valves\nOverhaul blade gate, butterfly, and other valves, including actuators.\nReplace worn seats, seals, gates and stems, then pressure test and record the results.\nOnboard and general duties\nCarry out onboard repairs and planned maintenance using portable tools, within vessel permit systems.\nKeep job cards, measurement sheets, test records and photos for every overhaul, and keep traceability of replaced parts.\nRequest spares and consumables accurately, and keep tools and measuring instruments calibrated.\nSupport lifting and rigging of heavy components with certified personnel.\nHSE\nApply lockout/tagout and verify zero energy before work.\nFollow permit-to-work procedures for cold work, hot work, confined space, working at height and lifting.\nReport incidents and near misses.\n 5 to 10 years of hands-on overhaul experience in dredging, marine, offshore or heavy plant.\nProven experience overhauling hydraulic cylinders, gearboxes, clutches and large bearings.\nAble to read mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic drawings, schematics and OEM manuals.\nCompetent with precision measuring tools (micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators, feeler gauges) and torque and tensioning equipment.\nValid UAE driving licence (preferred).","description_format":"text","description_chars":2907,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sea
