I have an interview on Dec. 19th with Oceaneering for an ROV Tech position but I have concerns due to the field I’m coming out of. I am mechanically inclined and have some technical abilities. But I have worked in and owned my own construction company for nearly 20 years.
My question is if anyone knows how difficult is the aptitude test they give at the interview. And how often do people come out of other fields into this one.
Hello Mizata, I have an interview in Morgan City coming up very soon. I see that you had inquired about the Technical Aptitude test that is given at the time of the interview. I did not see that you got a response,
Can you give me some insight on the test and did you get the job? … hope so.
The test was pretty straight forward. Some Electrical, Some Mechanical, Some Hydraulic. Basics of each more than anything however for the life of me I still can’t remember how I did so well. If you know ohms law, kirschoffs law, and that F=AP your good to go. IF not I recommend looking on youtube and downloading as much reading / prep material. You can use a calculator so bring one.
BTW i’m obviously not MIZ but I was there and got the same job offer and seeing how he’s not on the boards much I figured I’d answer for him.

Yeah I was shocked I did so well (coming from construction background). The test is multiple choice. If you have any mechanical or electrical background you will do fine. Like blackdog said if you do some studying on basic hydraulic, electrical and mechanical it will help. The interview was a breeze. Interviewers were straight forward and in no way try to trip you up like some do. And there are several people doing interview.
Hello DOG, Just one more thing… I understand Ohm’s Law and Kichhoff’s Law, but I’m not sure about F=AP. Where can I find info on that equation?
F=AP is for hydraulics.
It means Force is equal to area x pressure
so if you apply 10 Lbs of force over a 1 square inch area you have a pressure of 10 lbs per square in. Seems common sense but can get really confusing when using much bigger numbers.
Pm me your email address and I’ll shoot you some study guides.
