A Career in Scientific Field Observation
This isn’t just a job; it’s an expedition. Join our team of frontline scientists as a Protected Species Observer (PSO) or Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) Operator, working at the intersection of industry and ecology.
Life at Sea
Work and live aboard client vessels for 4-10 week rotations in diverse marine environments—from the Atlantic to the Arctic. This is a demanding role for the physically fit and adventurous, requiring resilience in all conditions.
The Mission
Your mission is critical: ensure project compliance and mitigate impacts on protected species for clients in the offshore wind industry and beyond. You will collect high-quality data that directly informs environmental stewardship.
Your Responsibilities
Accurately identify marine species, collect detailed field data, operate monitoring hardware and software, and provide essential biological expertise to project crews while upholding all project-specific regulations.
Are You the Right Fit?
We are seeking adaptable, independent, and scientifically-minded individuals. You'll need a degree in natural sciences (or relevant PSO experience), strong leadership skills, and the ability to thrive in hectic travel and remote living conditions.
Mandatory Credentials for Deployment
PSO Course Certificate
From a BOEM/BSEE/NMFS-approved provider. Training is provided to successful candidates new to the industry.
BOSIET & OGUK Medical
Industry-standard BOSIET certification and an OGUK Medical Certificate are required for deployment.
