Our client is seeking:

• Minimum three years’ offshore experience with subsea spreads (trenching, ROV, geotechnical drilling)
• Proven experience managing full offshore spreads during live operations
• Valid offshore certifications (BOSIET, MIST, OGUK Medical)
• Strong understanding of the operational and client-facing pressures in offshore delivery
• Technical confidence across mechanical, electrical or hydraulic systems
• Excellent troubleshooting and live support capability
• Background in subsea operations preferred over OEM-only roles
• Organised, proactive and confident working under pressure
