ROV Pilot Technician
Join Fugro as an ROV Pilot Technician and take your career to new depths with cutting-edge subsea technology. You'll be responsible for piloting, maintaining, and operating Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) both onshore and offshore, supporting global marine projects. Your work will involve critical underwater inspections, investigations, and interventions, ensuring all systems perform to the highest standards. This is your chance to be part of a world-class team making a real impact beneath the surface.
Your role and responsibilities:
Support technical operations by assisting in the maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of ROV systems, associated equipment, and tooling.
Perform piloting tasks under supervision, including general ROV control and manipulator operations during subsea missions.
Assist with launch and recovery of the ROV system, ensuring safe and efficient deployment and retrieval procedures.
Prioritise safety by maintaining a proactive attitude toward Health, Safety, and the Environment, always working in line with Fugro’s safety standards and core values.
Contribute to system readiness through inventory checks, pre- and post-dive inspections, and general housekeeping duties.
Collaborate effectively as part of the ROV team, communicating clearly and supporting colleagues and project personnel on-site.
What you’ll need to thrive in this role:
Previous experience working as an ROV Pilot Technician at offshore worksites.
Strong understanding of mobilisations, operations, and fault-finding for both work-class and eyeball specification ROVs.
A nationally recognised technical or trade qualification and/or relevant vocational qualification in electrical, electronics, hydraulics, or mechanics.
Willingness and ability to work offshore for extended periods.
