About the role

Fairwater is seeking a Third Mate for tanker operations across East/West/Gulf waters and internationally. You will support the Master on bridge watches, oversee oil and ballast cargoes, and ensure safety equipment is maintained. Travel internationally is required and USCG STCW credentials are mandatory. The role emphasizes vessel cargo systems familiarity, safety procedures, and accurate record-keeping, with potential for broad scope and long voyages.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
