He was later recruited as marine fitter in 1980 at the Central Workshop and in 1983 he was appointed an engineer cadet. In 1989 he became a marine engineer and in 1993 chief mechanical engineer.
GINA said further that Joseph was appointed General Manager in January 2006 after serving previously as Deputy General Manager.
