About the role

We are looking for an Engine Room Officer to join our fleet in Brazil, which is in full expansion.

You will have the opportunity to work on a fleet of modern vessels with high technological capacity, and take part in dynamic and highly complex operations, such as:

  • Handling of anchors and deployment of torpedo anchors on AHTS vessels;
  • Inspection, maintenance, subsea construction and saturation diving on RSV, CSV, DSV and MPSV vessels;
  • Deployment of flexible lines on PLSV vessels.

We are looking for professionals who bring expertise in operating and maintaining the engine room, combined with strong process management skills, with a focus on safety, operational efficiency and technical excellence.
