Naval Service has Jobs for Technical People

Brian Clowen

If anyone is interested about an exciting employment opportunity the Naval Service is looking for 15 Engine Room Artificers application from suitable persons must be in by November 4th.

If you are a level 6 tradesman (fitter/welder/mechanic/maintenance fitter) or a level 7 marine engineer/mechanical engineer or EOOW qualified and 27 years old or younger this would be an amazing chance at a new career.

The successful candidates would be taken in as acting leading hands (junior NCOs) and after less than 1 years training would be full Leading Hands less than two years later they would be Petty Officers (Sergeants) it takes nearly 7 years to get to Petty Officer if you start as an apprentice do you would be bypassing years of training due to your qualifications.

If you would like to know anything more about what an ERA in the Naval Service is or what the job entails please ask me here and I'll be delighted to tell you.

If you know anyone qualified like above tell them about thus chance it's an unreal opportunity to get straight into a Naval Service Career.

Most PO/ERAs in the service are dual if not triple qualified engineers as well as been at the heart of the engineering branch and while afloat are integral in the firefighting, damage control, armed boarding teams.

The training is second too none and the opportunities for technical training and professional advanced are huge.

And average
PO/ ERA can expect too be after a few years service a level 6 tradesman, level 7 EOOW qualified with a level 7 ordinary degree in leadership and management.

As well as about €600.00 a week take home which is decent wage, you can earn an extra €140-160 a week patrol duty allowance when you are attached to a ship.

They want you up and running quickly. Loads of PO/ERA vacancies at the moment. No ERA's waiting to be promoted. Most left as soon as their 12 years were up.

There are a few ERAs waiting to be promoted from l/s to PO but 10 POs were just made CPOs in the last month which is the reason for so many vacancies, also no apprentices were taken on this year so even more vacancies.

I think there are just over 16 apprentices I training so their are plenty off guys coming through but they won't be in stream for two or three years I am lead to believe.

Most of those who went through Naas in the 80s and 90s have retired or left early, taking their skills with them. Another downside to the celtic tiger years unfortunately. The fact that many were messed about when they were in during the late 90s didn't help either. Former Flags have a lot to answer for. One thought it was a good idea to make an EA/ERA the same as a "mech" even though most mechs had no technical training.
Cue mass exedus.

work please

ERA (Engine Room Artificer) is for all purposes a diesel mechanic, and will be responsible for maintaining and repairing the large engines and generators used to power and propel a naval vessel, in all weathers.

What qualification do you currently hold?
