Work Environment

  • Offshore rotational schedule (e.g., 14/14 or 21/21 hitch)
  • 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
  • Ability to work in demanding offshore conditions
  • Problem-solving and adaptability

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive offshore pay (day rate or hourly + overtime)
