Vessel ICT Technician

Role summary

Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

The Vessel ICT Technician supports onboard information and communication technology systems, including computers, networks, servers, satellite communications, radios, user accounts and cybersecurity controls. Candidates typically need relevant IT training, practical experience with network troubleshooting, Windows systems, hardware, marine or offshore communications, and a strong understanding of technical documentation. Experience in maritime, oil and gas, or other remote environments is valuable. The role requires good English, reliable problem-solving skills, clear communication and the ability to work independently in confined, safety-critical conditions. Candidates should be comfortable working rotational schedules, following offshore safety procedures, completing reports and providing professional support to crew and project teams.

About the employer

Global Projects Services AG is an international project-services and staffing company supporting energy, marine, offshore construction and industrial projects. The company connects qualified technical personnel with assignments that may involve vessels, offshore installations, shipyards and remote project locations. Its services can include personnel recruitment, project support, technical operations and workforce coordination for clients working in demanding international environments. A position with the company may therefore involve strict client procedures, travel, rotational work and compliance with maritime or offshore standards. Exact employment conditions, benefits and reporting arrangements depend on the project and contract. Applicants should confirm the employing entity, work location, rotation pattern, certification requirements, insurance coverage and applicable payroll arrangements directly with the company before accepting an offer.

Working in Offshore & Rig Operations

Island-based offshore work offers opportunities for ICT technicians, electricians, marine engineers, rig crew, logistics staff, safety professionals and catering teams. Communities supporting offshore projects are usually multicultural, practical and close-knit, with a strong focus on reliability, safety and respect for local customs. Lifestyle can be remote: accommodation may be shared, transport limited and leisure options modest, although larger islands often provide beaches, outdoor activities and useful international services. Visa requirements depend on the island, nationality, employer and whether the job is onshore, offshore or in territorial waters. Workers commonly need a passport, medical clearance, offshore safety certificates and a work permit arranged by the employer. Relocation planning should cover flights, insurance, vaccinations, banking, mobile connectivity and emergency contacts. Confirm rotation schedules, tax rules and accommodation before travelling, as offshore employment may not provide ordinary island residency rights.
