    I’ve not been interested in taking that job again for quite a few years. Happy as a pig in #hit being a shift supv. (especially nights!)

    What concerned me is that this thread was started by someone working offshore who was unsure of the roles and responsibilities of the top person involved with the ROV on a day to day basis.

    lucky jim,

    the thread was started as a bit of tongue in cheek, wondering if the role meant ‘upsetting the troops and supping coffee with the skipper’ it wasn’t meant to be serious. I wouldn’t get concerned over it too much.

    Ive always said Sub Eng was the best position. No shit dealing with clients or office. Left to get on with the the flying and fixing 😀 😀

    Ray, you took the words right out of my mouth.
    can’t fly, can’t fix, just type and talk?….then send the company secretary.

    i think that’s the point some of the boys are trying to make. Why are some of these guys (supt’s) paid so much just to type and talk.

    When the shit goes down you need somebody you can lean on for operational and technical advice and direction. Sadly some of these guys fall well short. Maybe that applies to all grades but seems to me for shortcomings, the percentages go well up in the Superintendant grade.

    To be fair there are some pretty good ones too. Who look out for your asses and don’t let dumb f**k client reps pressure you into diving in impossible conditions. It’s good to have a good supt to take the heat sometimes. but again the company secretary from my last company could do that well as she was like a rabid dog (the lovely Ms A****)

    Damn I missed the humour in the thread thinking it was a serious conversation pertaining to life offshore and the working practices within the ROV industry 😆

    Next time after a few beers I will not respond to any threads instead I will watch telly and drink more beer.

    Have a good New Year guys and happy Mahogany.

    Like the idea of an offshore Secetary will she be fit like some of the onshore office girls 8)
