Why join us?

• Take your skills where few can go. Work in offshore environments where your expertise ensures safe helicopter landings, vessel movements, and crane operations, keeping critical offshore operations running safely.
• Work with cutting-edge weather monitoring systems. Work hands-on with advanced meteorological and oceanographic systems that provide the critical data offshore operations rely on.
• We take every measure for the planet. Our technology and data play a vital role in understanding, mitigating, and adapting to climate change. We enable climate action from optimizing industrial processes to advancing the energy transition, predicting hurricanes and wildfires to monitoring road conditions.

In this role you will be working in close co-operation with all members of our small Aberdeen team, and you will report to the Project and Service Manager.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Performing maintenance, troubleshooting, surveying and commissioning of offshore meteorological and oceanographic systems to ensure compliance with CAP437 and other applicable local standards
• Installing and configuring new weather monitoring systems in offshore environments
