Summary

We’re on the lookout for a confident, experienced Chief Officer to join a tight-knit and well-established team on a 50m+ support vessel. This is a rotational role with a 10:10 schedule.

This is a hands-on position for someone with strong leadership skills, an eye for detail, and a solid handle on all things bridge and safety. The vessel runs Mini ISM, so a solid grasp of paperwork is key — especially during yard periods and quieter stretches when project and maintenance work steps up.

We’re looking for someone with a genuine passion for the water — ideally with a strong background in surfing, diving, or fishing (bonus points if you’re into all three). The vessel cruises in areas where these are part of the daily routine, and the Owner is fully engaged with it.

The toy inventory reflects that lifestyle, with five well-equipped tenders for everything from skiing and fishing to diving and coastal exploration — excellent tender driving in multiple propulsions is expected.

You’ll be joining a long-standing programme with real stability. The crew is multi-national, active, and professional, and we’re looking for someone who can slot in smoothly and contribute from day one.

Sound like you? Apply now and let's talk.
