Pilot/Technician I

Job Summary:

A Pilot Tech I is regarded as someone who can undertake 'first line' fault-finding on equipment and undertake routine maintenance. In many cases, the PTI will be required to assist the Senior Pilot Tech (Sub Eng) in more complex technical activities such as component-level fault-finding, system set-up and calibration.

In practise there is some overlap between PTI and Senior Pilot Tech (Sub Eng) grades. It is not the intention of this programme to limit the technical activities undertaken by a PTI when they are clearly capable of undertaking some of the responsibilities of the Senior Pilot Tech (Sub Eng) grade, with the consent of the ROV supervisor or assessor.

Entry Level Specifications:

• Valid and current offshore medical certificate that is acceptable in the region of the world in which they are employed
• Valid and current offshore survival certificate that is acceptable in the region of the world in which they are employed
• Achieve 180 days offshore experience at PTII grade
• Achieve 100 hours piloting experience at PTII grade
