Living and working at sea: what’s it like to work on a Service Operations Vessel?

We speak to wind turbine technician Georgia Grace to find out what life is like maintaining an offshore wind farm. Working two weeks on and two weeks off, she helps to keep Race Bank offshore wind farm generating clean electricity for half a million homes. She tells us what it’s like to live and work out at sea, and about some of the luxuries on board!

Fantastic ship!

[@sollywa]

Cool 😎 🆒️ must be quite adventurous

[@bel.z.1130]

I would do this, and I'm liking the idea of a 2 weeks on-off schedule.

[@TheLimitedPixel]

Do it

[@omarbradley1272]

How. I mean what expertise is in demand to get to do this kind of work?

[@annv6781]

Cooool!

Almost joined the Edda Mistral at the start of this year as a Steward/Laundry person through an Agency but unfortunately I was called back early to my other job. Still kicking myself about it as I want to become a Storekeeper on a SOV as I have this experience. Don't know if you can be employed direct to the Company through it's own HR Recruitment though?

Santo Dios. yo nunca e estado en mar abierto(in the opened sea) Le tengo mucho temor al mar, El mar = the sea, es un ser vivo= is a living being. pero a de ser una historia maravillosa trabajar alli. Dios les guarde segundo tras segundo y que El reprenda las arrogantes olas que vengan contra el barco si a El le place.God bless you all= Dios les bendiga a todos.

How to join it

[@MrHawere]

do Orsted have their own offshore fleet?

[@hjartvard5368]

I checked their website, doesn't look like it. Easier not to have their own vessels

[@Gamusineitor]

MADE IN SPAIN 😊

[@KING77818]

I never worked with a female on the ship. I think this is difficult for both men and her! However, it would be insane if she was my wife lol

[@Kangenpower7]

You are not on the ship to date people, especially your co workers. Just think of them as another co-worker, not as a potential date. And everything will be fine.

Where do you come from? Women are often working along with men in civilised countries.. I met a few as smith, sailor, farmer and forest worker. They are actually also hired to work, not to comfort backwards orientated clowns like you ... 🤡😎

[@OmmerSyssel]

Are you considering BMI levels when hiring technicians? I would have issues rescuing that size of colleagues in an emergency situation, and even worse they can't save themselves or others in need of their assistance 👀

I’ll prefer work 24/7 365 days non stop 🤫🦈💰💰💰💰🤲🏾🤲🏾⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
