Position Summary
The Subsea Technician is a ‘fast track’ trainee of the Subsea
Department. He or she is responsible for learning as much as
possible about the subsea equipment to gain deep insight as to
the various tasks and methods of the drilling vessel subsea
environment. The technician will also be responsible for
interacting with as many Subsea Supervisors as possible in the
first year of the program.

Position Scope
The Subsea Technician program is intended to produce competent
Subsea Supervisors from technically trained personnel in one
year and on to Senior Subsea Supervisors in two years. The
first year of the program is effectively full time while the
second year will be (almost) equal time on and off and assigned
to a drill-ship.
The first year will be broken into four stages, the first of
which will have the Technicians assigned to the Subsea
Superintendents, the second stage will have the Technician
assigned to one of our drill-ships.
The third stage will be assigned to a different drill-ship
(probably in a different country) and the fourth stage will
have the Technician assigned to shadow the Subsea
Superintendents again.
During this first year there will be many training courses to
attend and during both years there will be many assignments to
complete and reports to write.
The technicians will be evaluated and tested after each stage.
A failure of any evaluation, an assignment or of the written
test will prevent graduation. We will, however allow one
opportunity only to correct such a failure.
