ROV operators work both offshore and onshore, meaning they can be employed at sea as well as on land. Offshore, many work in the petroleum industry on the Norwegian and international continental shelves, and participates in oil/gas search operations and in the development, operation and closing phases of an oil field enterprise.
Onshore, ROV expertise is increasingly used across a wide range of industries. This includes the power sector, inspection of critical infrastructure in water-filled and confined environments, land-based industry, and the inspection of confined or hard-to-reach areas. FU operators may also work within aquaculture, research, and rescue and emergency response operations.
