Already on a job board? Bring a prep plan with you.
Quartermast sequences STCW, ENG1, and visa around the listings you are already applying to.
- Six role tracks
- Live hiring windows across 14 lines
- Visa path by destination
Six role tracks. One sequenced plan per department.
Each track ships its own hiring window, interview prep, and visa pathway — so the plan you open matches the listing on the job board you are already reading.
- HOSPITALITYOpen Hospitality
Bars, dining rooms, front desk, housekeeping. The largest onboard hiring pool across most major lines.
- DECKOpen Deck
Navigation, bridge, and exterior crew. Structured progression from deckhand to officer ranks.
- ENTERTAINMENTOpen Entertainment
Production cast, lounge acts, kids programs, and cruise director tracks. Casting is line-specific.
- ITOpen IT
Shipboard networks, AV systems, onboard surveillance, and digital signage. Salaried staff.
- MEDICALOpen Medical
Ship doctors and nurses run a small onboard clinic with triage, emergency response, and outbreak protocols.
- SHIP RETAILOpen Ship Retail
Boutiques, jewelry counters, photo and art auction roles. Lines typically require prior land retail.
Four pieces, sequenced around the listing.
The job board is still showing the same listing. Quartermast adds the prep behind it — the certs, the medical, the visa, and the window — in the order they have to land.
- STCWWhat you get
STCW basic safety — done in the right week
The IMO-mandated foundation every maritime worker holds. Quartermast moves you off the job-board advice loop and onto a vetted, time-matched provider list — five short courses covering firefighting, first aid, personal survival techniques, security awareness, and social responsibility, booked before any line stops reading your application.
- ENG1What you get
ENG1 medical — booked the week it matters
The seafarer fitness exam — sight, hearing, blood pressure, chest assessment — signed off by a registered MCA practitioner. Two-year validity; the document that gates every other step. Quartermast schedules it the same week as the start of your recruitment cycle so you reach interview with medical still current, not expired.
- VISAWhat you get
Visa stream guide — the one that fits your route
Line-specific Schengen, US C1/D, Australian MSMAC, and flag-state paperwork routed by destination and contract length. Each port of embarkation has its own visa pathway. Quartermast surfaces the one that matches your background rather than whichever stream a job-board FAQ promotes — and flags the bookings that turn a signed contract into a delayed start.
- HRWWhat you get
Hiring-window calendar — matched to your department
Live recruiting windows and interview slots, refreshed across 14 cruise lines, mapped to the six role tracks. The job board shows the listing; Quartermast shows when each line will next read it, what they are screening for, and what application volume that window is seeing this week.
