Their role includes: • Maintaining high pressure air systems with 2000-3000 psi working pressures • Maintaining hydraulic and PLC control systems to pressures of 250 bar • Maintaining high pressure seismic energy source systems • Fault-finding and operation of seismic source controller (electronics) • Back deck vessel operations including deployment and recovery of in-sea equipment Your career We offer you the opportunity to work with leading industry experts, the newest technology and the most modern seismic vessels available today. Your career path as a seismic trainee can take you through to department leader and Party Manager running the operations offshore or to technical roles onshore.

Our training Our seismic trainees join a structured program with the goal of promotion to Observer, Navigator or Mechanic after three trips offshore: typically after seven to eight months after starting.
