Job description

Crane Operator
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Offshore Crane Operator to join our team and learn to become an Offshore Gangway Operator. You will play a critical role in ensuring safe and efficient personnel and cargo transfers between a vessel and an offshore structure, such as a drilling platform or wind turbine. In this position, you will operate cranes with precision and confidence in challenging vessel conditions, while maintaining the highest standards of safety, maintenance, and coordination. If you possess a keen attention to detail and a proactive approach to safety protocols, this is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and safety-focused environment. You will work with innovative motion-compensation technology that automatically adjusts to the movement of the vessel, making offshore access safer and easier. The mission is to make offshore access as easy as crossing the street.
Responsibilities
  • Safely operate the crane to facilitate personnel and cargo transfers, compensating for vessel pitch, roll, and heave to ensure stable and secure operations.
  • Perform preventative maintenance on hydraulic and electronic components, including weekly and monthly inspections and basic troubleshooting, to keep crane systems in optimal condition.
  • Conduct pre-job toolbox meetings with clients, vessel captains, and deck crews to coordinate transfer schedules, review safety procedures, and ensure alignment on operational plans.
  • Enforce QHSSE policies strictly, monitor weather conditions continuously, and issue "wait-on-weather" notices when safety parameters are exceeded to prevent accidents and ensure personnel safety.
Requirements
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience operating cranes in a similar setting.
  • Stage-3 Certified Crane Operator.
  • Valid BOSIET, OGUK Medical, Passport, and TWIC credentials.
  • Proven ability to operate cranes under challenging vessel conditions with accuracy and safety.
  • Strong understanding of hydraulic and electronic systems with the ability to perform basic troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to conduct effective toolbox meetings.
  • Commitment to maintaining high standards of safety, quality, health, and environmental compliance.
