Our Manufactured Products group offers several world-class global manufacturing facilities serving multiple industries including energy, material handling, and entertainment ride systems. We have decades of experience in engineering, design, testing and qualification of hardware for any specification, including subsea umbilicals, junction plates, distribution units, termination assemblies, clamps, flanges, and more. For the material handling industry, we produce safe, reliable, and flexible mobile robotics solutions. For the entertainment industry, we deliver innovative ride systems engineering and automated people mover vehicles.

Oceaneering is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. We develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also use applied technology expertise to serve the defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries.

The Commissioning Technician is responsible for the installation and commissioning of new Mobile Robotics (OMR) systems at both our production facilities and our customer/supplier sites worldwide. This includes not only obtaining knowledge of the product's design and manufacturing from the project team, but also being a key factor in testing the vehicles and preparing work before going to a customer site. Site work involves installing complete systems, installing/updating software, commissioning vehicles and ensuring the complete system will work at the customer site to the satisfaction of all stakeholders. This work will be closed out by training the customer and handing over the operational system to its end-users.
The Commissioning Technician can also be requested to support our other services required such as maintaining our operational installed base. The engineer applies his/her electrical, mechanical and software skills to search and determine the root cause of issues, and subsequently develop and implement solutions to the issues at hand.
The commissioning Technician will occasionally be requested to support Oceaneering's Hotline Helpdesk to help our customers via remote services.
