You guys are funny. Both Officer and ME4 got nothing to do with his Naval Architecture degree, or Marine and Offshore Technology. Your job as ME4 is to ask your lower ranked MEs what is the ship's status? And then they report to you, then you report to Officer. Your job as Officer is to rotate among certain positions starting from Admin Officer, then Navigation Officer, Communications Officer, Operations Officer, Executive Officer, and finally Commanding Officer. In your 4 yr bond, you will probably only reach Communications Officer max. Since you had already sealed your doom by signing on, my advice is to go forth as an Officer. MEs got no respect. From an ex Navy Regular. |

If you jump ship from ME4 to Engineer in ST marine, please prepared for MAJOR pay cut!! Assume this scenario: Male with NS 1st class honours NTU engineering Assume both "average performer" Mr A join ME4: -Starting pay (ME4 Trainee): $3570- $4760 (Graduate) -Additional allowance: Shipboard: $200 - $300 so 1st class will get 4760+300 = 5060 (trainee) if pass out from OCS, I assume give you 300 more >>5060 basic + 300 allowance = 5360 After 6 years in navy, he will more probably to be ME5(aka MAJOR rank) with last drawn pay between 6.5k to 7k assume annual salary = 16 month(could be more) = 16 x 7000 = 112000/year ---------------------------------- Mr A join ST marine as engineer -Starting pay for 1st class(with NS) as of 2011 ~ $3400 -typical in ST engineering, average engineer get to be promote every 3 years -so in 6 years, he will be promoted twice -for average performer, annual increment = 3.5%, promotion increment = 4% so after 6 years, his salary would be = 3400 x 1.035^6(6 annual increment) x 1.04^2(2 promotion) = ~$4521 So he will get ~$4521 as an asst principal engineer assume annual salary = 12 + 1(aws) + 6(pb, could be lesser) = 19mth = 19 x 4521 = 85899/year ---------------------------------- from my comparison, you can see that you can't even hit the starting pay of ME4 as an engineer with ST marine after 6 years exp..  So what you think.....I no need to elaborate more

thank you guys. how about as a naval officer? can i land a job in PSA or keppel? or can ME4 get into those as well? Also, with the experiences gain in navy as a ME4, how is the pay difference if i were to stay in the navy compare to being a engineer in ST marine? will it be a big paycut and how many years would i have to stay on to get back to what i get in the navy? |
