  • Work conducted entirely above water (topside) on fixed or floating platforms
  • Exposure to harsh environmental conditions (heat, humidity, wind, noise)
  • Physically demanding work requiring lifting, climbing, and working at heights
  • Travel by helicopter or crew boat

Key Skills & Competencies

  • Precision welding and high attention to detail
  • Commitment to safety and compliance
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
