I am flying work class ROV every day now but I still remember having to build my own tiny ROV project on the SubNet course. Putting all those bits of plastic and components together and making it fly in the test tank with the laptop was fun but so interesting and worthwhile. I still have that project in my home I just can't throw it.

Lifestyle

Highly Paid

Most ROV personnel will work on a job for between 6 and 8 months and the remainder of the year will be on/off leave.
The salary is high and leave plentiful but this will always depend on which world location you decide to work and what company hires you.

17000 USD a MONTH (UK 2009 rates) can be earned as a Basic ROV Tech in many world locations and that's before you get promotion.

Lifestyle

Good Leave

You will receive good leave to see your family throughout the year and as many other offshore workers do, you will probably see more of your family in real time than many of those working at home
in a 9–5 job.

With a High Salary, Paid Travel and Good Leave Schedules its not long before you and your family are enjoying a good lifestyle. Taking in a holiday any time of the year, meeting your partner after a job completion in perhaps Mexico. Able to buy that bigger house you have always dreamed of or just the fact that you can take time off whenever you need it for whatever you want.

World Travel

World Tour

Oilfields are located all over the World and we send our ROV pilots to places such as Mexico, USA, Russia, UK & Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, China and Australasia.

The varied and exciting work will take the pilot anywhere in the world to complete underwater tasks such as Oilfield, Scientific, Salvage and inshore works.

For example, one month an ROV pilot could be working in Mexico and the next month he could be on a salvage operation in the South China Sea. All travel and expenses are paid by the companies.
