Electro-Technical Officer (ETO)
Job Summary
The ETO is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and supporting all vessel electrical, electronic, and automation systems onboard offshore support vessels operating in the Gulf of Mexico. This is a hands-on operational role supporting both vessel reliability and offshore operations, working closely with the engineering department, bridge team, and shore-side technical personnel to ensure all systems remain fully operational and compliant.
The ideal candidate is someone comfortable in a fast-paced offshore environment who can independently diagnose issues, prioritize repairs, and support day-to-day vessel operations without constant oversight. Strong troubleshooting ability and practical offshore experience are highly valued for this position.
Responsibilities:
• Troubleshooting and maintaining vessel electrical systems, switchboards, generators, motors, VFDs, lighting systems, and power distribution equipment
• Supporting automation, alarm, monitoring, and control systems onboard the vessel
• Assisting with maintenance and repair of communications, navigation, DP-related, and electronic support systems as needed
• Working closely with engineers and vessel leadership to minimize downtime and maintain operational readiness
• Performing preventative maintenance and documenting repairs and maintenance activities onboard
• Supporting troubleshooting of HVAC, auxiliary, and support systems tied into vessel electrical infrastructure
• Assisting during shipyard periods, inspections, audits, and vessel projects when required
• Maintaining compliance with company procedures, safety standards, and regulatory requirements
• Supporting safe offshore operations while maintaining a strong safety culture onboard
Requirements:
- Candidates with offshore vessel experience
- Strong electrical troubleshooting skills
- Previous exposure to diesel-electric systems, automation systems, or DP vessel operations tend to transition well into this role.
This is a long-term rotational opportunity offering steady work, full benefits, travel coverage, and the ability to grow within a stable offshore marine operation supporting vessels actively working in the Gulf.
