Working on Offshore Vessels
Vessels serving offshore oil and gas operations: supply, towing, accommodation and construction support. Work is project-based.
01Life on board
Intense and technical. Weather-driven waiting periods alternate with heavy operational spells. Safety training and equipment rules are strict. Teams are small and specialised.
02Who it suits
For technical trades such as welders, fitters and electricians, and for experienced deck and engine crew. The entry threshold is high; certificates are not optional.
03Contract and working pattern
Contracts follow the project schedule and are generally short. Short, intense periods followed by longer leave — this pattern does not suit everyone.
