What We Offer

During your rotation, you will live and work onboard a Service Operation Vessel (SOV), providing a unique offshore experience and the opportunity to be part of a collaborative and highly skilled team in a dynamic environment. Accommodation on board is fully provided during your working days.

Looking ahead, this setup will evolve no later than November 2027, transitioning to Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) operations.

You will be part of a highly professional and culturally diverse team, working in a fast-growing and future-focused industry. In addition, we provide an attractive compensation package.
