About You

Trade Qualified? Ready to take your skills into the marine industry?

If you hold an AMSA workshop-equivalent trade qualification or an AMSA Marine Engine Driver Grade 1 NC (MED 1) ticket (and have hands-on experience working onboard in an MED 1 capacity) this could be the perfect opportunity to advance your engineering career.

With a recognised shortage of qualified marine engineers across the industry, Svitzer and Programmed are serious about developing the next generation of talent.

That's why we're committed to supporting this training program and the right candidates through their Diploma of Marine Operations (Marine Engineering Class 3 Near Coastal) course at the Australian Maritime College (AMC) - including fully funded tuition, travel and accommodation. The program also provides practical sea time, mentorship from experienced engineers, and ongoing guidance throughout the certification process.

Program Details

This is a 12-month full-time traineeship, designed to provide the training, experience and support needed to achieve your AMSA Engineer Class 3 NC Certificate of Competency.

Applicants must be ready to commence in February 2026, and be willing to travel to Launceston, TAS, to complete their AMC course requirements and AMSA oral examinations over a period of approximately 13 weeks, commencing from 20 April

  • An AMSA-recognised trade qualification () or an AMSA MED 1 NC Certificate of Competency
  • A strong focus on safety, compliance and responsible operations
  • A genuine interest in developing as a marine engineer
  • A team-first mindset with clear and respectful communication
