Where a vessel engine tester can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a vessel engine tester already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Vessel engine testers test the performance of vessel engines such as electric motors, nuclear reactors, gas turbine engines, outboard motors, two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines, LNG, dual fuel engines and, in some cases, marine steam engines in specialised facilities such as laboratories. They position or give directions to workers positioning engines on the test stand. They use hand tools and machinery to position and connect the engine to the test stand. They use computerised equipment to enter, read and record test data such as temperature, speed, fuel consumption, oil and exhaust pressure.

Also known as marine engine tester, marine engine test engineer, outboard motor tester, electric motor tester, gas turbine engine tester, LNG engine tester, two-stroke diesel engineer tester, four-stroke diesel engine tester, marine steam engine tester, dual fuel engine tester, boat engine test technician, liquid natural gas engine tester.
