• Check that all certificates, audits and drills are up to date, and that field reports accurately reflect the work executed.
• Contribute proactively to team goals, sharing ideas and respecting the views of others.

Required Experience

• Minimum 10 years total in the offshore construction, geology or survey sector.
• At least 3 years with a contractor performing offshore geotechnical surveys.
• At least 3 years specifically as an OCR on offshore geotechnical campaigns; experience in Poland is a strong plus.

Required Knowledge and Qualifications

• Advanced written and spoken English (mandatory); knowledge of Polish is an additional advantage.
• Thorough understanding of offshore geotechnical survey techniques and deliverable formats (e.g. ASCII, AGS, GIS) and the associated QA/QC processes.
• Familiarity with international and Polish offshore safety legislation and regulations.
• Proficiency with MS Office and common geophysical / geotechnical QC software (e.g. QGIS, ArcMap, IHS Kingdom, SeisSee), plus personal hardware and valid licences to perform onboard QC tasks.
• Valid STCW Basic Safety, BOSIET or GWO Sea Survival certificates, and an up‑to‑date offshore medical (OGUK or equivalent).
• Ability to travel at short notice and remain offshore for extended periods.
• A proactive, safety‑first attitude and the confidence to intervene respectfully and cooperatively whenever necessary.
