Tough Hours, Okay Pay for Maritime Roles
Working at SOECHI GROUP in the maritime industry means stable work but a challenging work-life balance, especially for technical roles like a Marine Engineer. The pay is decent, but be ready for long days.
Job security is pretty solid here, which is a big plus in the maritime industry. The team in the Jakarta office is usually supportive. You learn a lot about vessel operations.
Work-life balance as a Marine Engineer isn't great, honestly. Long hours are a regular thing, and you often work weekends for urgent oil and gas projects. Flexibility is basically non-existent with the onsite work.
Managers need to really look at staffing levels to reduce the constant overtime. Better project planning would help improve employees' overall well-life balance.
