This role entails being the first point of remedy for any fires or hazards that may break out on ships, inside submarines and confined spaces around the site. All FAFF trained employees respond to emergencies throughout a marine environment and no two days are the same.

Alongside this, we offer vital mental heath resources, a supportive network and career longevity.

Do I need previous experience?

In short – no. KAEFER will train you to the highest standards to facilitate FAFF support. We encourage any person of any background to submit their interest. This is a great role for those who have thought of fire fighting or marine support vocations. KAEFER will give you the guidance and tools to secure an exciting career in industrial services.
