The Maersk Company can really take you places
Formed in 1951 the Maersk Company is a leading British shipping company, owning or manning a fleet of over 60 vessels, employing approximately 2000 sea staff.
In order to maintain high quality deck and engineering officers, the company runs the ‘Officer Trainee Scheme’
Officer Training combines academic studies with practical training onboard state of the art vessels. The package includes tax free monthly sponsorship with tuition fees paid, all travel expenses paid and a full uniform provided. Most importantly, it offers an internationally recognised qualification at the end of the study period, with a guaranteed work place.
“I’ve always been interested in this area and a cadetship seemed to be the best way to become an engineer. It’s good to see and learn. I’ll be doing more main engine work before I go back to college and qualify for engineering work” Callun Deane – Engineering Cadet
“I’ve already seen Dubai, India, Sri Lanka and Singapore. It’s really enjoyable, with a different experience every day – meeting new people, doing practical work as well as studying and being part of a team” Jason McAloone – Deck Cadet
“After my first academic year, I embarked on a three-month sea trip aboard the container vessel, Maersk Gateshead, en route from the west coast of America to the Far East. It was a great trip and an amazing experience. I’ll never forget sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge or into Hong Kong Harbour. Spending time at sea gave me a new prospective on life” Maria Quigley – qualifying cadet joining the Maersk container fleet.
Life at sea with Maersk offers a challenging and rewarding career for highly motivated and proactive individuals.
