<p>A third assistant engineer’s license is by a <a href="Maritime_Administration" class="mw-redirect" title="Maritime Administration">Maritime Administration</a> in accordance with the <a href="STCW_Convention" title="STCW Convention">International Convention on the Standards and Training of Watchkeepers</a> that allows the recipient to work on board any vessel up to the rank of a fourth engineer or below. Third assistant engineers do most of the general labor among the officers, as well as leading the <a href="Oiler_(occupation)" title="Oiler (occupation)">oilers</a> and other engine room crew. Depending on the style of ship, company, and other factors, they are called "the third" or "the fourth," usually stand a watch and sometimes assist the <a href="Third_mate" title="Third mate">third mate</a> in maintaining proper operation of the <a href="Lifeboat_(shipboard)" title="Lifeboat (shipboard)">lifeboats</a>.

</p><p>This <a href="Merchant_Mariner_Credential" title="Merchant Mariner Credential">credential</a>, is earned by <a href="Cadets" class="mw-redirect" title="Cadets">cadets</a> who complete engineering training at an authorised <a href="List_of_maritime_colleges" title="List of maritime colleges">maritime academy</a>.

</p><p>American 3rd assistant engineers can receive an optional commission as ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve, Merchant Marine Reserve, or Coast Guard Reserve.<sup id="cite_ref-BLS_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BLS-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With experience and additional training, third officers may qualify for higher rank.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Duties">Duties</h2></div>

<p>The general duties for a third assistant engineer (fourth engineer) differ from ship to ship. Generally speaking, third assistant engineers are tasked with controlling the main propulsion systems, water systems, purifiers, air compressors, sewage treatment plant, fresh water generator, actively involving in bunkering operation, record keeping of fuel tanks sounding as instructed by chief engineer and anything else tasked to them from up in the chain of command. A third assistant engineer (fourth engineer) is part of the engine company’s chain of command. The top of this chain of command is the <a href="Chief_engineer" title="Chief engineer">Chief engineer</a> (or first engineer), who is in command of engine room and auxiliary areas that would relate. Then comes the first assistant engineer, or <a href="Second_engineer" title="Second engineer">second engineer</a>, second assistant engineer (<a href="Third_engineer" title="Third engineer">third engineer</a>, and then the third assistant engineer, or fourth engineer. These are the officers within the engine company of a standard ship.

</p><p>The third assistant engineer is in charge of keeping the plant in operation, with command being passed down and being delegated by whomever is on watch. They are trained to be competent in a wide variety of fields such as <a href="Heating%2C_ventilation%2C_and_air_conditioning" title="Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning">HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)</a>, electronics, <a href="Hydraulics" title="Hydraulics">hydraulics</a>, <a href="Engine_room" title="Engine room">engine room</a> auxiliary machinery and the operation and maintenance of both steam and diesel propulsion plants. Duties will vary from ship to ship, but the Fourth Engineer is expected to handle tasks in all areas of the ship. As with all seafarers, the third assistant engineer is an integral part of the emergency response with critical technical knowledge.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Training">Training</h2></div>

<p>The rank of third assistant engineer can be earned by one of two ways, either through training and an approved cadetship program or by advancing from an engine room rating, colloquially termed <a href="Hawsepiper" title="Hawsepiper">hawsepiping</a>. Both tracks require the individual to complete specific training in order to meet the requirements set out by STCW Convention.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Engineer officers, as with all merchant seaman, are required to complete basic safety training. This may include training in <a href="Firefighting" title="Firefighting">Firefighting</a>, Damage control, <a href="First_Aid" class="mw-redirect" title="First Aid">First Aid</a>, and survival. <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Unions_and_Professional_Organizations">Unions and Professional Organizations</h2></div>

<p>U.S. maritime licensed and non-licensed crew are mandated to be part of one of many of the unions. The maritime industry is a closed shop style of union. There are two primary Unions that a third assistant engineer (fourth engineer) may become associated with, the <a href="Marine_Engineers'_Beneficial_Association" title="Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association">Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association</a> and <a href="American_Maritime_Officers" title="American Maritime Officers">American Maritime Officers</a>. These unions protect the maritime industry by protecting the workers and amassing the billets for maritime workers to take for jobs. Most of these billets run for 30, 60, or 90 days.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The <a href="Institute_of_Marine_Engineering%2C_Science_and_Technology" title="Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology">Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology</a> is an international professional organisation that represents seagoing and shoreside Officers and Professionals in the wider <a href="Marine_Engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Marine Engineering">Marine Engineering</a> community.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
