Company Overview:

As a member company of Venterra Group, Balltec is working at the forefront of the global energy transition, supplying engineering solutions to the offshore wind and the emerging floating wind markets. As a company, Balltec is targeting significant growth to provide even more effective support for our clients in this industry.

The Workshop Offshore Technician will work alongside other technicians, and internal company personnel to successfully complete the assembly and testing of new products, inspection and refurbishment of existing products and maintenance of company equipment. This role is split between our workshop, based in Morecambe and when required to work offsite, predominantly offshore vessels.

The working hours are long, and the work can be physically demanding. Here at Balltec, we have a support team that is available to you while you are working offshore. Some of the locations where our team have worked include:

Australia

Brazil

USA

Germany

Norway

Thailand

Taiwan

Plus, many more.
