What does the job involve?

Responsible for supporting the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm, working on a 2-weeks-on / 2-weeks-off rotation from a Service Operations Vessel (SOV).

The position also contributes to continuous improvement initiatives, technical problem solving, equipment reliability enhancement, and accurate maintenance reporting.
The Offshore Senior Technician is expected to mentor and support colleagues, apprentices, and developing technicians by sharing knowledge, providing technical guidance, and contributing to workforce competency development. Strong communication, planning, troubleshooting, and organisational skills are essential to ensure maintenance activities are executed safely, efficiently, and in alignment with operational performance targets.
