Sustainability
Our ESG commitments and environmental strategies
Join the team
We’re a global team of field service engineers, technical specialists, surveyors and project managers, united by one purpose: supporting customers and helping vessels operate safely and efficiently. If that sounds like the kind of work you want to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.
Work that matters
When a vessel’s equipment fails at 2am in a foreign port, our engineers are the ones who fix it. When a survey is due and a ship could be detained, we’re the team that gets it done. The impact of what we do is real, immediate and felt by thousands of seafarers every day.
Truly global team
With service stations across 60+ countries and engineers in every major port, you’ll work alongside colleagues from every background, culture and time zone. Whether you’re based in Europe, China, the UK or the US, you’re part of the same team with the same mission.
Room to grow
From junior field service engineers to senior technical leads, we invest in our people through manufacturer training programmes, LinkedIn Learning, the Marlink Group Training Academy and structured development paths. Over 7,400 training hours delivered last year alone.
Always evolving
From radio communications to bridge electronics, onboard maintenance and integrated maritime solutions, Telemar TNL continues to adapt to new technologies and customer needs.
