ROV Pilot Technician 1 (FIXED TERM CONTRACT FOR 12 MONTHS)

Join Fugro as an ROV Pilot Technician on a 12‑month fixed‑term contract and take your career to new depths with cutting‑edge subsea technology.

In this offshore role, you’ll pilot, maintain, and operate Work‑Class ROVs (WROVs) on a major project in the Atlantic Ocean off the Spanish coast, supporting a dedicated subsea decommissioning campaign. This is an opportunity to join a world‑class team and contribute to impactful subsea operations over the duration of the contract.

Your Role And Responsibilities

  • Support technical operations by assisting in the maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of ROV systems, associated equipment, and tooling.
  • Perform piloting tasks under supervision, including general ROV control and manipulator operations during subsea missions.
  • Assist with launch and recovery of the ROV system, ensuring safe and efficient deployment and retrieval procedures.
  • Prioritise safety by maintaining a proactive attitude toward Health, Safety, and the Environment, always working in line with Fugro’s safety standards and core values.
  • Contribute to system readiness through inventory checks, pre‑ and post‑dive inspections, and general housekeeping duties.
  • Collaborate effectively as part of the ROV team, communicating clearly and supporting colleagues and project personnel on‑site.


What You’ll Need To Thrive In This Role

  • Previous experience working as an ROV Pilot Technician at offshore worksites.
  • Strong understanding of mobilisations, operations, and fault‑finding for both work‑class ROVs and eyeball ROV systems.
  • A nationally recognised technical or trade qualification and/or relevant vocational qualification in electrical, electronics, hydraulics, or mechanics.
  • Willingness and ability to work offshore for extended periods.
  • Willingness to work on both vessels and platforms.
