ATS Resume Optimization for Marine Engineers (Ship Engineers)

Marine Engineer is a distinct, better-growth title than Ship Captain: BLS's "Marine Engineers and Naval Architects" category projects +6% growth through 2034 — faster than average, and the strongest growth rate of any title researched in this vertical — with about 600 US openings a year. It's a smaller absolute number but a genuinely growing niche, distinctly technical/mechanical (propulsion and auxiliary systems, preventive maintenance) rather than the navigation/command focus of Ship Captain. No dedicated paid resume-writing brand was found for this title.
