Tasks

Inspection:

• Inspecting and repairing underwater infrastructure. After using High Pressure (HP) water jetting technology, hydraulic tooling or pneumatic tooling to remove marine bio-fouling,
• Conduct general visual inspection (GVI), close visual inspection
• (CVI) and non-destructive testing (ultrasonic thickness testing, cathodic potential testing, etc) of marine assets.
• Identify defects to the underwater asset and be responsible for conducting the repairs or coordinating the necessary maintenance work. For example:
• UWILD (Underwater Inspection In Lieu Of Dry Docking): Vessel de-fouling to inspect the cooling intakes, hull structural condition and running gear (propeller, thrusters, rudder) of iron-ore bulk carriers, LPG gas tankers and crude oil tankers.
• Cyclone mooring inspections: Remove marine bio-fouling and inspect mooring components and conducting the necessary repairs to ensure vessels will be safe during a cyclone weather event.
• Facility support pile inspections: remove marine bio-fouling, visual and non-destructive testing (eg: ultrasonic thickness testing, cathodic potential testing). Eg: Offshore platforms, Port Authorities, navigational aids, defense infrastructure.
• Invasive Marine Species (IMS) inspection: Inspect vessels for marine pests to ensure the safety of Australia's marine environment.

Construction and maintenance:

• construction and maintenance projects in underwater environments.
• responsible for tasks such as welding, cutting, assembling underwater structures, installing or repairing underwater pipelines, and conducting inspections to identify and repair any structural issues.
