ROV Careers
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV’s) are an essential part of the offshore industry. They operate in environments that are considered to deep and sometimes dangerous for divers.
The industry has become increasingly reliant on ROV’s for a range of tasks to support the complex activities involved in the exploration for oil & gas.
As we move forward into the future with energy production ROV’s will be required to support the construction, maintenance and inspection of offshore wind farms and tidal/ wave installations.
Some of these activities include:
- Underwater construction and installation
- Inspection and survey of sub sea structures
- Installation of power cables
It follows that the ROV is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment which incorporates state of the art electronics and powerful hydraulic systems which must be reliable and capable of operating at great depths. The operators of such systems must therefore possess a range of unique skills that they can perform in harsh environments for long periods of time on board vessels and installations.
The skills/experience the industry looks for include:
- Electrical
- Electronics
- Hydraulics
- Mechanical
Successful candidates will have at least 2 years experience working in one of these fields.
Excellent teamwork skills and the ability to work under pressure: Candidates are expected to work in small teams for long periods of time, typically 12 hour shifts for up to 4 week periods. Flexibility: The candidate must be prepared to travel to any part of the world at short notice.
This is a challenging career but the rewards are there for the taking. These include excellent financial packages, the option to travel, periods of leave unlike conventional jobs.
