More information
A Helideck Assistant supports safe helicopter and passenger movements on offshore platforms, vessels, or remote sites. You might work for energy companies, maritime contractors, or resource facilities. You will focus on baggage handling, aircraft refuelling, and monitoring the landing area for hazards.
