Objective
work with hydraulic equipment or anything in mechanical field
Experience
Operates, repairs, and performs maintenance on ship propulsion
Machinery and auxiliary equipment. Operate main propulsion steam engines,
turbo generators, and associated systems (condensate, circulating water, lube oil, fuel oil, etc.), operates auxiliary systems; including compressed air, potable water, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and steering systems; completes maintenance forms; exercises environmental control procedures to prevent or minimize air pollution and oil spills. Calibrates pressure and temperature sensing devices; operates and performs mechanical maintenance on air and reefer compressors and propulsion system equipment; adjusts thermal expansion valves, pressure switches, thermostats, and regulator valves; may serve as lead man. Completes maintenance reports and inventories of installed equipment. Operates and performs maintenance on shipboard equipment that produces or uses steam including boilers, turbines and distilling plants. Machinist Mate rating also includes familiarization with first aid, safety, and fire fighting (basic and advanced), heat stress, preventative maintenance systems and Quality Assurance programs.
