- Comfortable working onboard vessels and in confined spaces

- Able to read drawings and work accurately to dimensions

- Good spatial awareness and attention to detail

- Willing to learn new technology and travel internationally

- EU passport required

- Engineering degrees are not required.

 

What We Offer

- Full training in Automet and survey equipment

- Competitive salary plus travel per diem
