Job Description

Make your mark as ROC ROV Pilot Technician (Onshore) at Boskalis Subsea Services in Aberdeen.  You will be responsible for piloting and supporting the operation of Work-Class Remotely Operated Vehicles (WROVs) from the Boskalis Remote Operations Centre (ROC). Operating via secure real-time control systems, the role contributes to safe and effective offshore subsea operations including inspection, intervention, survey, and tooling support.

  • Monitor ROV system performance, data feeds, and sensor outputs to ensure accurate navigation, tether management, and mission execution.
  • Conduct pre-dive checks, simulations, and post-task system diagnostics in accordance with company procedures and project requirements.
  • Support offshore and ROC-based personnel in the remote fault diagnosis and basic troubleshooting of ROV systems and tooling.
  • Maintain clear and effective communication with offshore crews, ROC colleagues, and client representatives to coordinate operations in real time.
  • Ensure accurate and timely completion of dive logs, reports, video recordings, and data entry in line with project and audit requirements.

  • A minimum of 2 years ROV experience.
  • Exposure to digital or remote piloting systems (e.g. ROC-based control, networked ROV operations) – desirable.
  • Valid and current IMCA Company Member Competence Certificate or completed and validated IMCA Competence Portfolio supporting completion of all ROV Senior Pilot Technician (R02) competencies – desirable.
  • Documented work history via an up-to-date IMCA ROV logbook showing relevant piloting and operational support activity within the last 12 months – desirable.
  • Familiarity with Work-Class ROV systems such as Kystdesign or Saab Seaeye, including basic piloting, tether management, and navigation support – desirable.
  • Demonstrated understanding of subsea operational environments (e.g. inspection, observation, and light intervention scopes) – desirable.
  • Experience assisting with basic fault diagnosis, pre-dive checks, and tooling changeouts is advantageous but not essential.
  • Prior work in an offshore or simulation-based control environment is beneficial but not mandatory for initial appointment if supported by technical aptitude and training – desirable.
  • Technical Aptitude: Ability to operate within a digital control environment; basic diagnostic and fault-finding skills.
  • Competence: IMCA Company Member Competence Certificate or IMCA Competence Portfolio (R05).
  • Technical qualifications: recognized technical qualification in electrical, electronic, mechanical, or hydraulic discipline (e.g. NVQ Level 3, HNC, military trade, or equivalent).
  • ROV Introductory Training: successful completion of an IMCA-approved ROV Introductory Training course (IMCA R002 compliant), with valid certification.
  • Team player with strong communication skills: contributes positively to team dynamics and maintains clear, respectful communication.
  • Commitment to safety and standards: consistently applies safety procedures and follows work instructions precisely.
  • Positive attitude and willingness to improve: open to feedback, actively seeks learning opportunities, and contributes to a learning-oriented environment.
