Job description

Our client operates a fleet of mid-size Nearshore Jack-Up Barges (JUBs) with up to 1,000T payload and 40 POB, working in very shallow waters (5–30m). These units are equipped with tubular, pin-in-hole legs, making their movement and jacking operations distinctly different from larger lattice-leg jack-ups.

As a result, the client is seeking highly experienced JUB Masters and Jacking Engineers with proven expertise in nearshore JUB operations, specifically within shallow-water environments.
