    Meet our Cadets – Jonathan Tailford

    Marine Engineer

     

    Meet Jonathan Tailford, who shares his ten year journey from starting as a Marine Engineer Cadet to achieving his current role as a 2nd Marine Engineer with Global Marine.

     

    With the support of Global Marine, his career path has been one of continuous learning, dedication, and growth.

    Learning new skills, gaining life experience and seeing the world.

    When starting my cadetship, I wanted to learn new skills, gain life experiences, and see the world. At Global Marine, I found this and much more.

    I have been part of teams that have successfully laid and repaired telecommunications worldwide; which in turn has allowed me to experience new cultures and places such as Curacao, The Philippines, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Bermuda, South Africa, Namibia, France, Holland & Dominican Republic.

    The Global Marine Cadetship is perfect for personal development; championing ‘hands-on’ practical experience, troubleshooting capabilities, teamwork and communication skills.

    I have been able to learn and evolve as a person and as a leader. Global Marine also supported my desire for self-improvement by assisting me in acquiring my 2nd Engineers certification.

    Since my first day with the company, I have gained vital experience, allowing for promotion from Engine Cadet, to 4/E, to 3/E, to 2/E, within 10 years.

    Not only have I gained practical and life experiences, I also have Global Marine to thank for meeting my future wife, during a trip to Dorset.

    We now live happily in Dorset, quite a distance from my hometown of South Shields, with a baby on the way!

    I couldn’t recommend Global Marine highly enough; with a strong mix of interesting projects, good team ethics, and a clear drive for individual and collective improvement from Crew to Senior Management.
