The role

The Technician will be responsible for preparing, testing and maintaining Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) systems, sub systems, assets and all associated equipment within the Workshop, which is a key part of ensuring that Fugro achieves operational excellence by ensuring that the ROV's it uses for its sub marine operations are maintained to the highest standards.
