Job description

Description
The Ballast Control Operator (BCO) is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the ballast control system on a floating offshore facility, such as a Tension Leg Platform (TLP). This position plays a direct role in maintaining vessel stability, structural integrity, and safe operations across the platform.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Monitor ballast control systems, tank levels, and marine instrumentation
  • Maintain proper draft, trim, heel, and overall platform stability
  • Operate ballast pumps and valves to adjust for changing conditions
  • Compensate for weight transfers and maintain balanced loading
  • Support crane and lifting operations by monitoring stability during heavy lifts
  • Track weather, sea state, and prepare ballast systems for changing conditions or storms
  • Assist with hurricane preparedness and severe weather procedures
  • Monitor hull position, structural loads, and (where applicable) tendon tensions
  • Respond to alarms, abnormal conditions, and emergency situations including flooding or loss of stability
  • Maintain logs, reports, and operational records from the control room
  • Coordinate with maintenance teams on ballast system equipment including pumps, valves, and instrumentation

This role is central to safe offshore operations and requires strong situational awareness, attention to detail, and the ability to respond quickly in dynamic conditions.
Requirements
  • Prior Ballast Control Operator (BCO) experience required
  • Experience on offshore floating facilities (TLP, Spar, Semi-submersible, etc.) strongly preferred
  • Ability to work a 14/14 offshore rotation
  • Must be able to crew change out of Galliano, LA
  • Strong understanding of ballast systems, vessel stability, and marine operations
  • Ability to operate effectively in a control room environment
  • Experience supporting offshore lifting and marine operations preferred
  • Valid offshore certifications required
