Job Deion:Lead Marine EngineerCompany Introduction:At Silverstream, we have successfully developed and deployed a market-leading clean marine technology solution over the last ten years. Our Air Lubrication System (ALS) fundamentally changes the interaction between water and a vessel’s hull, creating a carpet of microbubbles that coats the flat bottom of a vessel. As a result, frictional resistance is reduced – dramatically improving a vessel’s fuel consumption and associated emissions.After successfully deploying the ALS system on several ships, the company is now seeing a significant increase in activity as more ship owners around the world adopt the system on their vessels. With both retrofit and newbuild projects in the pipeline we are expanding and recruiting high calibre people to join our dynamic team on our exciting journey of rapid growth.Role Summary:This key role is to provide subject matter expertise to the Silverstream Technologies business in the context of mechanical components and piping systems that are integral to functioning of ALS.
