Oversee day-to-day vessel operations, maintenance, and readiness
Ensure compliance with all company safety, security, and operational procedures
Deliver a high standard of service to offshore wind clients and personnel
Maintain vessel logs, reporting, and administrative responsibilities
Take ownership of all onboard activity and decision-making

What We're Looking For

First Aid / CPR / AED certification
Strong radar and vessel handling experience
Experience operating high-speed, waterjet-driven catamarans
