FPSO OR&A Jobs | Hiring for FPSO Operations Readiness & Assurance Roles

FPSO-Operations-Readiness-Assurance-Jobs

The global offshore energy sector is entering a new phase of expansion, modernization, and operational excellence. Floating Production Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs) continue to play a pivotal role in offshore oil and gas production, particularly in deepwater and ultra-deepwater developments. As FPSO assets grow more sophisticated, the demand for skilled, experienced, and safety-driven professionals has never been higher.

We are currently hiring for FPSO Operations Readiness and Assurance (OR&A) across a wide range of technical, marine, production, maintenance, medical, and leadership roles. This is an exceptional opportunity for offshore professionals seeking long-term career growth, international exposure, and the chance to work on world-class FPSO projects.

If you have experience in FPSO operations, offshore production facilities, marine systems, maintenance, E&I, HSE, or offshore medical services, this recruitment drive could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.

Understanding FPSO OR&A: Why It Matters

Operations Readiness and Assurance (OR&A) is a critical phase in the lifecycle of an FPSO. It ensures that the vessel, systems, crew, and operational processes are fully prepared for safe start-up and sustained production. OR&A bridges the gap between construction, commissioning, and live operations, ensuring all risks are mitigated before hydrocarbons are introduced.

Professionals working in OR&A are at the frontline of operational excellence. Their responsibilities include:

  • Verifying system readiness
  • Ensuring compliance with international offshore standards
  • Supporting commissioning and start-up activities
  • Establishing safe, efficient operational routines
  • Maintaining asset integrity and production reliability

Being part of FPSO OR&A means working in a high-impact environment where expertise, discipline, and teamwork directly influence safety and production performance.

Who Should Apply?

This hiring campaign targets experienced offshore professionals with backgrounds in FPSO operations, offshore platforms, tankers, drilling units, or other marine and oil & gas installations. Candidates with strong technical knowledge, hands-on offshore experience, and a commitment to safety and operational excellence are strongly encouraged to apply.
