💡 Some offshore roles pay well over €100,000 per year, yet companies are struggling to find qualified workers.


🚢 Why is this happening?


🔹 The offshore industry is expanding, but the skilled workforce isn’t growing fast enough.

🔹 Many of these jobs require specialized knowledge and years of experience.

🔹 Younger generations are less attracted to offshore careers due to lifestyle challenges.

🌍 Geophysicists (€100K-€160K) – Analyze seabed data for offshore exploration.


🏗 Offshore Installation Managers (OIMs) (€120K-€220K) – Lead offshore facility operations.


🛢 Reservoir Engineers (€110K-€180K) – Maximize oil & gas recovery from offshore fields.


📌 What does this mean for offshore businesses?
