Job Description:
The Offshore Scaffold Technician is responsible for the safe and efficient assembly, modification, and dismantling of scaffolding structures used on oil platforms and other offshore installations.

This role requires strict adherence to HSE standards and may involve emergency repair work during harsh weather or operational shutdowns.
