What are ROV jobs?

Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have supplanted numerous tasks traditionally performed by professional divers, including inspecting and maintaining bridges and offshore structures. They are used across diverse industries such as offshore oil, gas, and energy, for a range of tasks like:

Intervention activities on subsea assets
Inspection
Maintenance of structures like oil rigs and wind turbines
Construction

Additionally, ROVs are employed in marine civil engineering for surveying bridges, ports, and harbours, and in marine biology for scientific research and environmental sampling in marine ecosystems.

Qualifications and skills for aspiring ROV professionals

Candidates aspiring to enter the ROV sector typically possess an HND or a degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, or hydraulics. This, coupled with hands-on experience in an industry setting before transitioning to ROV operations, ensures you can deliver project targets calmly and with precision.

Success in the field of ROV requires strong analytical and practical problem-solving abilities, technical aptitude, excellent communication skills, and proficient hand-eye coordination. While formal ROV-specific qualifications are not mandatory, many employers offer specialised in-house training and encourage adherence to IMCA ROV competency frameworks for professional development during assignments.
