Offshore Emergency Response Technician careers

An Offshore Emergency Response Technician manages frontline safety and rescue operations on oil rigs, gas platforms, or floating vessels. You might work for global energy companies or specialist safety contractors. You will focus on fire suppression, chemical spill control, and advanced first aid. By maintaining critical equipment and conducting regular safety drills, you ensure your facility is prepared for high-impact incidents in isolated marine environments.

Offshore Emergency Response Technicians play a vital role in protecting personnel and assets at sea. You must be physically fit and disciplined to operate effectively under extreme pressure. You will liaise with site leadership and medical teams to ensure all emergency responses are executed safely and in accordance with strict maritime regulations.
