Sou um chefe da máquinas com quase todas estas qualificações, mas 28 X 28 é regime escravagista, vc fica por vezes apenas 23, 24 dias em folga conforme os embarques e desembarques, sugiro 21 X 14 este sim me agrada
Com esse monte de exigências para trabalhar embarcado e com cursos específicos para esta área,só pros escolhidos e preparados pela própria companhia ou marinha,não tem como um cidadão comum igual ao meu caso que sou eletricista a maiscde 20 anos,como vou trabalhar embarcado sem ter todos esses cursos,se a empresa está tão interessada que prepare o profissional com todos esses cursos específicos
Cuidado fiz todo processo nessa empresa em setembro 2023 incluido ASO, estando apto em todo processo inclusive indicação do banco para salário. E ate hoje nenhum comunicado. Isso demonstra o respeito com o trabalhador.
