The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Diploma in Electronics or Instrumentation Engineering Technology or relevant experience.
  • Hands-on experience with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), wave buoys, mooring construction, and Campbell Scientific dataloggers is a strong asset.
  • Comfortable working in remote environments, traveling by vessel, fixed-wing, or rotary aircraft, and meeting all safety and compliance requirements.
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
  • Ability to travel up to two weeks at a time on short notice and work extended hours when required.
  • Skilled in equipment maintenance programs and computerized maintenance management software.
  • Passionate about delivering solutions that matter—committed to quality, safety, and continuous learning.
