Job Description

Start your maritime career at DOF

Are you looking for a career at sea?

DOF is looking for motivated and eager-to-learn Ordinary Seamen for our NOR-registered AHTS and PSV vessels in the North Sea. This is an exciting opportunity for those who want to build sea time, develop skills, and take the next step toward a Certificate of Proficiency as an Able Seaman.

We are therefore looking for candidates who are proficient in a Scandinavian language, both orally and in writing.

As an Ordinary Seaman, you will be part of a professional crew on modern offshore vessels performing supply and anchor handling operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. You will receive practical training, close follow-up, and valuable experience in deck work, safety, maintenance, and maritime operations.

Responsibilities

As an Ordinary Seaman, you will, among other things, contribute to:

  • General deck work and maintenance of the vessel
  • Cleaning, painting, and preparation of the vessel and equipment
  • Loading and unloading of supplies and deck equipment
  • Mooring operations
  • Assisting during anchor handling operations where applicable
  • Maintenance of deck machinery and other equipment
  • Participating in the vessel's safety and emergency organization
  • Lookout duties and watch-related tasks once competence is achieved
  • Complying with DOF's high standards for safety, quality, and the environment

Qualifications

  • Basic Safety Training (STCW)
  • Valid medical certificate for seafarers
  • Security Duties/Security Awareness
  • Valid passport and necessary travel documents

Maritime experience is an advantage, but not a requirement.

We also encourage candidates with experience from practical and physical professions to apply. Examples include:

  • Construction
  • Industry and manufacturing
  • Mechanical trades
  • Shipyard and maintenance work
  • Aquaculture and fisheries
  • Transport and logistics
  • The Armed Forces or other operational environments

Experience from work where safety, teamwork, practical skills, and physical effort are central will be emphasized.

Do you lack offshore experience, but have the right attitude, work ethic, and desire to learn? Then we would love to hear from you.

We offer

  • The opportunity to build sea time in the offshore fleet
  • Structured training and competence development
  • Experience from AHTS and PSV operations in the North Sea
  • Guidance from experienced colleagues on board
  • Opportunities for further development toward an Able Seaman certificate
  • Competitive terms
  • An inclusive and professional work environment with a strong focus on safety
