vessel engine assembler
Vessel engine assemblers build and install prefabricated parts to form engines used for all types of vessels such as electric motors, nuclear reactors, gas turbine engines, outboard motors, two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines and, in some cases, marine steam engines. They review specifications and technical drawings to determine materials and assembly instructions. They inspect and test the engines and reject malfunctioning components.
Also called: LNG engine assembler, electric motor assembler, marine engine assembler/tester, nuclear reactor assembler, liquid natural gas engine assembler, boat engine assembler/tester, marine steam engine assembler, marine engine builder
