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

Radar Observer (Unlimited)
First Aid / CPR / AED certification
Strong radar and vessel handling experience
Experience operating high-speed, waterjet-driven catamarans
Mechanical aptitude and ability to perform daily vessel maintenance

Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills

Why Join Us

Be part of a tight-knit, motivated crew that values teamwork and professionalism
Fast-paced, hands-on role with real responsibility and autonomy
Opportunities to grow with a company operating at the forefront of maritime and renewable energy
