Job Description

Join Fugro’s Remote Operations Centre in Aberdeen as a Surveyor and play a key role in delivering remote survey operations for offshore projects. You’ll support vessels across the region, ensuring high-quality data and smooth execution of workscopes—all from a centralised, 24/7 onshore hub. This is a rotational role, working 12-hour shifts on a 3-week schedule, ideal for someone who’s technically skilled, detail-focused, and ready to make an impact from shore.

Your role and responsibilities:

You'll be reporting to the ROC Manager and teaming up with Survey Supervisors, ROC Superintendents, offshore crews, project managers, clients, and third-party suppliers.

You’ll also have the chance to collaborate with other Fugro Remote Operations Centres and innovation teams around the world—so there’s always something new to learn and contribute to.

• Running remote survey operations from our Aberdeen hub and making sure everything’s delivered on time and to spec.

• Supporting offshore teams with technical know-how and helping troubleshoot when things get tricky.

• Using survey software and sensor systems to keep data flowing and accurate—if something’s off, you’ll spot it and fix it.

• Helping set up, test, and calibrate survey equipment so everything’s ready to go.

• Keeping your skills sharp by working with different software and staying up to date with the latest tools and techniques.

• Pitching in on remote solutions for Fugro and third-party vessels and platforms.

• Pulling together data from various sensors and making sure it’s clear, clean, and ready to go.

• Writing up logs, keeping vessel info current, and making sure handovers are smooth.

• Following QHSSE and operational procedures to keep everything safe and compliant.

• Looking for ways to improve how we work—testing ideas, documenting what works, and sharing it with the team.

What you’ll need to thrive in this role:

• Understand the technology – Be confident with survey sensors, remote systems, and data software.

• Deliver quality work – Ensure data is accurate, timely, and meets project standards.

• Communicate clearly – Share updates and findings with teams and clients in a clear, professional way.

• Stay organised – Keep detailed logs, handover notes, and vessel information up to date.

• Work well with others – Collaborate with remote teams, offshore staff, and third-party partners.

• Think ahead – Spot opportunities to improve how things are done and support innovation.

• Follow procedures – Always work safely and in line with QHSSE and operational guidelines.

• Keep learning – Stay curious and open to new tools, techniques, and ways of working.
