Selected
a senior Petty Officer Engineering Technician (Marine Engineering)
In the Royal Navy there is no distinction in rank to reflect the difference between Bootsmann and Maat. Both equate to NATO OR-6. Unlike the Canadian Navy, The RN does not have PO 1st Class and PO 2nd Class. Maybe "a senior..." would suffice to show the seniority.

Bootsman is exactly the boatswain, but boatswain has traditionally no tasks related to power transmission.
