What is an offshore commissioning?

An Offshore Commissioning job involves testing, verifying, and ensuring that offshore equipment, systems, and facilities are fully operational and meet safety and performance standards before they go into production. This process is critical in industries such as oil and gas, renewable energy (such as offshore wind), and marine construction. Commissioning engineers and technicians work on-site, often in remote locations, to troubleshoot issues, oversee installations, and collaborate with various teams. Their role ensures that all operations comply with regulatory requirements and function as designed before full deployment.

What skills and qualifications are needed for offshore commissioning?

To thrive as an Offshore Commissioning professional, you need a strong background in engineering or technical disciplines, knowledge of offshore operations, and relevant field experience. Familiarity with commissioning management systems, safety protocols, industry standards (such as IEC or API), and certifications like BOSIET or HUET are typically required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for this role. These skills are crucial for ensuring projects are safely, efficiently, and successfully transitioned from construction to operational phases in challenging offshore environments.

What is the typical work schedule and environment for offshore commissioning?

Offshore Commissioning roles usually follow a rotational schedule, such as two weeks on and two weeks off, where you live and work onboard a platform or vessel during your shift. The work environment is dynamic and often involves collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams in challenging sea and weather conditions, with a strong emphasis on safety. Your daily tasks may include system checks, functional testing, troubleshooting, and coordinating with construction, operations, and HSE teams. Being prepared for extended periods offshore and maintaining adaptability are key to success in this field.

Job description

About the Company
We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.
The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices. We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company's direction on a regular basis.
Our staff have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Boeing, Tesla, Apple, Virgin Orbit, Astra, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, and the US Army and Air Force, as well as research universities, startups, and small companies across a range of industries.
About the Job
Our core technology is the node, a device that produces energy in the ocean's harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention.
Once our nodes leave the manufacturing facility, they must be deployed, operated, and maintained safely and reliably across vast oceanic regions-all at an unprecedented scale and reduced cost. As an Offshore Technician, you will provide support for our pilot fleet deployed off the Oregon Coast. Additionally, you will assist in the testing and development of new operations which facilitate rapid commercialization of a large-scale fleet abroad. Once the technology and operations have been successfully demonstrated, your primary duty will be training new crews internationally to execute the offshore operations developed in the Pacific Northwest.
Initially this role will focus on operating, maintaining, and repairing the mechanical equipment required for our offshore operations. However, the intent is to cross train technicians across disciplines in order to expand the team's capacity for training crews overseas. Thus, both learning new skills and training others on the skills you currently command will be required. This role demands a hands-on learner with the commitment and curiosity required for continued education. This individual must enjoy and be capable of passing on knowledge to others. If you thrive in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment and are eager to develop the next generation of offshore energy infrastructure, we want to hear from you.
We strive to be the best team on the planet and we compensate our team accordingly.
Responsibilities
  • Provide operational support for the deployment, recovery, and repair of a North Pacific pilot fleet. Initial focus on mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems with the intent of broadening ownership through training.
  • Operate, maintain, and repair offshore mechanical equipment and systems. These may include hydraulics, pneumatics, winches, prime movers, and other industrial machinery.
  • Participate in cross training with other disciplines (communications, electronics, deck operations, etc.).
  • Train other team members on the systems / operations you own.
  • Work alongside engineering to commission and test new equipment utilized for offshore operations
  • Collaborate with engineering to improve existing and develop new means for offshore operations
  • Assist in maintenance of company-owned equipment.
  • Travel abroad to train crews internationally on the novel operations developed during pilot testing.
Required Qualifications
  • Experience working offshore for extended periods
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience operating and repairing industrial equipment in a marine, offshore, military, or comparable remote/field environment
  • Willingness and ability to both lead training and participate in inter-discipline training
  • Ability to travel up to 50% of the year offshore
  • Ability to travel 300+ miles offshore
  • Holder of active TWIC or have ability to obtain.
  • Ability to adhere to and promote a culture of safety.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience participating in the fabrication and commissioning of new industrial equipment
  • Experience interfacing with engineering teams
  • Understanding of basic AC and DC electrical theory
  • Exposure to marine communications systems (radio, satellite comms, networking, etc.)
  • Exposure to PLC systems
Schedule & Availability
  • This position is based on a rotational offshore schedule, working long shifts while offshore to support 24/7 operations.
  • While on hitch, you should expect 12-hour days, seven days per week, in a dynamic offshore environment.
  • The Offshore Technician is a frontline role; flexibility for weather, vessel availability, and mission timelines is required.
  • Travel overseas will be required.
Compensation and Benefits
If hired for this full-time role, you will receive:
  • Cash compensation of $100,000 - $140,000.
  • Equity in the company. We're all owners and if we're successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation.
  • A benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including:
    • Flexible paid time off
    • Health insurance (the company pays 100% of gold level PPO plan for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)
    • Dental insurance (the company pays 100% for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)
    • Vision insurance (the company pays 100% for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)
    • Disability insurance (the company pays 100% for a policy to provide long-term financial support if you become disabled)
    • Ability to contribute to tax-advantaged accounts, including 401(k), health FSA, and dependent care FSA
  • Relocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).
Location
This position is rotational and thus could accommodate individuals outside of the Portland area. However, our offices, lab, and shop are located in Portland, Oregon. Candidates residing in the Pacific Northwest are preferred.
