Surveyor

UTEC, part of Acteon Group, is one of the world's largest independent offshore and onshore survey providers. We provide a wide range of survey, positioning and data management services using the most advanced equipment and techniques. The data we generate provides our clients with the information they need to make critical, well informed, business decisions.

UTEC is looking to add qualified Offshore Surveyor to the team in the United States. The Surveyor is responsible for acquiring and processing accurate positioning data (vessel & sensors) during his/her shift (watch). The Surveyor shall assist the Party Chief/Senior Surveyor to ensure that positioning data and calibrations are acquired and processed in line with UTEC procedures and to specifications given in the scope of work, and that all results are concisely documented using the relevant UTEC forms. The Surveyor will inform Party Chief/Senior Surveyor of any required revisions to the current UTEC forms and procedures which may arise.

This is an offshore role and will require a significant amount time spent on a vessel and may take place in inclement weather and extreme temperatures. Responsibilities may require an adjusted work schedule, long days, and evening/weekend hours to meet deadlines. Extensive travel is required.
