WRS is a specialist ROV recruitment agency placing ROV supervisors, pilot technicians and tooling specialists on offshore projects worldwide. We support subsea contractors, survey companies and energy operators across work class and observation ROV operations in oil, gas and offshore wind.
What ROV jobs do we recruit for?
Remotely operated vehicles are the hands and eyes of the subsea industry, and skilled ROV crews remain in short supply. We recruit across the full team structure: superintendents and supervisors leading operations, senior and junior pilot technicians flying and maintaining systems, and tooling technicians supporting intervention work. Candidates are screened against IMCA competence standards, flying hours and system experience, from work class vehicles to observation and inspection ROVs.

FAQs
How do I become an ROV pilot technician?
Most pilots start with an electrical, mechanical or hydraulics background, complete offshore certification (BOSIET and medical) and build hours under IMCA competence schemes. Our consultants can advise on realistic entry routes.
What is the difference between work class and observation ROVs?
Work class ROVs are large, powerful vehicles used for construction and intervention, while observation class ROVs are smaller systems used mainly for inspection and survey support. Experience requirements differ between the two.
Do you place ROV crews in offshore wind?
Yes. ROV demand in offshore wind is growing rapidly across cable inspection, burial support and foundation works, and we recruit for these campaigns alongside oil and gas projects.
