Demand for ROV Pilot Technicians Grows??? Here we go again!!
It’s not an article based on the fact that MTCS are setting up to train loads more ROV wannabees at all is it? 😉
The whole article is slanted towards a perceived high demand for ROV techs and suggests that the the industry is in need of qualified ROV techs. Of course no such ROV qualifaction exists as yet, but they still suggest that they can help supply them. Another cheap shot is the mention of a number of major industry players are recruiting….
Canyon Offshore, CTC Marine, Subsea 7, Saipem and DOF Subsea all recruiting
All of whom we know, for the North sea, it is the usal time of the year that these companies start recruiting for the following season. Nothing new there either.
Finally.. as expected, there is no mention of the fact that the global ROV market is already flooded with low trainees (pumped out by other schools) all trying to get a look into the industry. IMHO this is yet another organisation ready to add to the ever increasing list of ROV hopefuls.
The last thing the ROV industry needs is more hopefuls being relieved of heard earned cash and being left to fend for themselves. Sad, but true non the less.
What the ROV industry really needs is regulation by an independent body. Not IMCA I might suggest!
If it carries on this way rates will fall though the floor and a scaffolder will be on more money than a pilot tech!
