David Millard- Marine Electrical Systems Specialist

Welcome to Manx Maritime Engineering! My name is David Millard, and I’m passionate about delivering top-notch marine electrical systems design, consultation, and installation. Originally hailing from the Isle of Man, a small island in the UK renowned for its rich culture and thrilling motorcycle races, I bring a unique perspective and a wealth of experience to the marine industry.

With a background in precision aerospace engineering, welding and fabrication, mechanical systems, maritime search and rescue and scuba diving, I have honed my skills in electrical systems over the years. Before relocating to the USA in 2019, I served as a vessel engineer aboard a 100-foot scuba diving live-aboard in the breathtaking Bahamas. This role not only deepened my love for the ocean but also equipped me with invaluable hands-on experience in marine environments.

After moving to Charleston, South Carolina, I spent over five years as the lead technician at the Charleston Sailing School, where I further developed my expertise and built lasting relationships within the sailing community.

I am also proud to serve as an ambassador for Victron Energy, a leading manufacturer of marine, RV, and off-grid electrical systems. This role allows me to stay at the forefront of industry advancements and offer the best solutions for my clients.

Now, as the owner of Manx Maritime Engineering, I’m excited to offer my knowledge and skills to help fellow marine enthusiasts. Whether you need design consultations, installation services, or troubleshooting for your vessel’s electrical systems, I’m here to ensure your experience on the water is safe and enjoyable.

Let’s work together to bring your marine projects to life!
