Offshore Technician, Communications

Our core technology is the Node, a device that produces energy in the ocean’s harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention.

Once our nodes leave the manufacturing facility, they must be deployed, operated, and maintained safely and reliably across vast oceanic regions—all at an unprecedented scale and reduced cost. As Offshore Technician, Communications you will provide support for our pilot fleet deployed off the Oregon Coast. Additionally, you will assist in the testing and development of new operations which facilitate rapid commercialization of a large-scale fleet abroad. Once the technology and operations have been successfully demonstrated, your primary duty will be training new crews internationally to execute the offshore operations developed in the Pacific Northwest.

Initially this role will focus on operating, maintaining, and repairing the communications equipment required for our offshore operations. However, the intent is to cross train technicians across disciplines in order to expand the team’s capacity for training crews overseas. Thus, both learning new skills and training others on the skills you currently command will be required.

This role demands a hands-on learner with the commitment and curiosity required for continued education. This individual must enjoy and be capable of passing on knowledge to others. If you thrive in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment and are eager to develop the next generation of offshore energy infrastructure, we want to hear from you.

We strive to be the best team on the planet and we compensate our team accordingly.
