But we’re always looking for new talent to take the next step with us. For bright minds who enjoy meaningful work and want to push our pioneering spirit further. For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role

The Technician will be responsible for preparing, testing and maintaining Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) systems, sub systems, assets and all associated equipment within the Workshop, which is a key part of ensuring that Fugro achieves operational excellence by ensuring that the ROV’s it uses for its sub marine operations are maintained to the highest standards.

A typical day in your role involves undertaking testing, maintenance, preparation, repair, and certification of all types of ROV systems and associated equipment in a safe manner. You are responsible for maintaining and updating all documentation related to maintenance, fault repair, and equipment preparation. Ensuring the safe load-out of systems and equipment for pre-mobilisation is also a key part of your duties. Additionally, you assist with providing technical and operational support to meet business requirements when requested. Engaging with and participating in discussions with project teams to ensure successful project execution is another important aspect of your day.
