  • Coordinating with other team members to ensure things are running smoothly.
  • Reporting any faults to management

  • Following, complying with and achieving company/client and industry health-and-safety standards. This includes following all safety rules and procedures, complying with health-and-safety regulations and other legal requirements. It also means ensuring that the ROV is operated safely at all times.
