Fugro is looking for a Remote Operations Centre Engineer to join its team in Aberdeen on a full-time basis. The role is based within Fugro’s Remote Operations Centre, where the engineer will help keep operational systems, workstations, communications and remote operations infrastructure running reliably.

The role would suit someone with previous offshore experience in inspection, survey, ROV operations or a similar technical environment.
