Everything you need to know as a candidate

What are the requirements to apply for marine jobs in Malta?

Requirements vary by role. Senior positions such as deck officers and marine engineers typically require STCW certification and several years of sea service, while entry-level or shore-based roles may only require relevant technical training or port experience. Always read the full job description before applying.

How do I know if I qualify for a role?

Each marine listing outlines the required certifications, sea service hours, and any flag-state endorsements needed. If you have hands-on experience aboard vessels or in a port and maritime environment, you likely qualify for more roles than you think. Apply and our team will let you know.

Browse the marine positions on this page and click the role that fits your profile. Apply directly through the listing. Our team reviews every application and will contact you within a few working days to discuss next steps.

What documents do I need to work in Malta?

EU citizens need a valid ID or passport. Non-EU candidates typically need a valid passport, a signed job offer, and must apply for a work permit before starting. Seafarers may also need valid STCW certificates, a seafarer's book, and a medical fitness certificate. Our team will guide you through the exact requirements for your situation.

Do I need STCW certification to apply?

It depends on the role. Seagoing positions such as officers, engineers, and ratings require valid STCW certification. Shore-based marine roles — such as port agents, marine surveyors, or logistics coordinators — typically do not. Each listing specifies the certifications required.

How long does the hiring process take?

It varies by role and employer, but most placements happen within 2 to 4 weeks. We keep you updated at every step so you always know where your application stands.

What does “Target Location” mean in the job description?

Each job listing includes a Target Location that tells you who is eligible to apply:

Only residents in Malta — You must already be living in Malta to apply.
Residents in Malta & Europeans — You can apply if you are already in Malta or hold a European passport.
Maltese only — This role is open to Maltese nationals only.
Only for Europeans — Open to European citizens only, regardless of where you currently live.
Worldwide — Anyone from anywhere in the world is welcome to apply.

What happens after I get placed in a job?

We stay in contact after placement to make sure everything is going well. If any issues arise with your employer or contract, our team is available to help you resolve them quickly.

Can I apply from abroad?

It depends on the job. Each listing includes a Target Location that tells you who can apply. If the job is marked Worldwide, you can apply directly from abroad — no need to be in Malta yet. For all other Target Locations (such as Residents in Malta, Europeans only, or Maltese only), check the specific requirements before applying.
