ROV Tooling Technician Grade I

Job Summary:

A Tooling Technician Grade I is regarded as someone who can undertake "first line" fault-finding on equipment, as well as routine maintenance.

In many cases, the Tooling Technician Grade I will be required to assist the Senior Tooling Technician in more complex technical activities, such as component-level fault-finding, system set-up and calibration.

In practice there is some overlap between the Tooling Technician Grade I and Senior Tooling Technician grades. It is not the intention of this programme to limit the technical activities undertaken by a Tooling Technician Grade I when they are clearly capable of undertaking some of the responsibilities of the Senior Tooling Technician grade, with the consent of the Tooling Supervisor or Assessor.

  • 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
  • 180 days offshore experience at Tooling Technician grade II
  • Has achieved experience and successfully completed the competencies at Tooling Technician Grade II
