There’s a big difference between working on a marine survey project and being responsible for managing one.

Offshore, your focus is naturally on delivering the work in front of you. Move into Project Management, and suddenly you’re responsible for a much wider picture.

The decisions made before mobilisation. Making sure the right people, vessels and equipment are in place. Managing the client relationship. Keeping an eye on risk, costs and reporting. Maintaining communication between the offshore team, subcontractors, client and colleagues onshore.

That broader responsibility is exactly what we’ll be getting into during our three-day Project Management for Marine Survey course with S4 this September.

The course covers areas including:

Tendering and commercial decisions.
Choosing the right vessels, equipment and personnel.
Client meetings and negotiations.
HIRA and risk management.
Project procedures and task plans.
Resource tracking, financials and reporting.
Washups and lessons learned.

It’s designed around practical industry experience, giving existing Project Managers and senior offshore personnel a clearer understanding of the full project lifecycle and the responsibilities that come with it.

There’s plenty of theory available on Project Management. This course focuses on applying it to the realities of marine survey work.

Kuala Lumpur is next on the Elevate Offshore calendar!

We're heading to Oil And Gas Asia (Official) (OGA) this week, and we’re looking forward to a couple of busy days catching up with people across the industry.

With plenty happening across the organisation and a growing amount of work across Asia Pacific, it’s a good time to get together with clients, contractors and industry friends in person. There are only so many conversations you can have through a screen before a coffee and a proper catch-up start sounding like a much better idea.

We’ll be walking the event across both days, meeting people, talking about upcoming work and generally seeing who we bump into along the way.

If you’re going to be at OGA in Kuala Lumpur, come and say hello to the Elevate team. We’d love to see you!

You’ve spent years building your experience offshore. What does the next step look like?

For many Party Chiefs and senior offshore personnel, moving into Project Management or Project Surveying is a natural progression.

But being good offshore doesn’t automatically prepare you for everything that comes with managing a project.

Commercial decisions. Client negotiations. Resourcing. Risk management. Financial reporting. Contractual considerations. Keeping offshore and office teams moving in the same direction.

That’s why we’ve partnered with S4 to run our Project Management for Marine Survey course in Birmingham from 22–24 September 2026.

Over three days, experienced offshore professionals will work through the practical side of managing marine survey projects, led by Arron Burrows, who brings 38 years of offshore survey and marine geoscience experience to the course.

If Project Management is where you want your career to go next, this is an opportunity to start preparing properly.

Dates: 22–24 September 2026
Venue: Somerset House, Birmingham
Cost: £899 per person

Global subsea activity means global personnel requirements.

Recent industry reports show active and upcoming subsea work across Indonesia, the Caribbean, Brazil, Egypt, Angola, Saudi Arabia and the UK, covering production systems, drill support, decommissioning, construction, diving and offshore wind.

For personnel working across survey, ROV, inspection and project disciplines, that geographical spread continues to create opportunities across a wide range of projects. It also means contractors need to be ready when requirements arise, with current certifications, accurate availability and the right experience clearly documented.

For our clients, maintaining access to an international pool of experienced offshore personnel is equally important. Projects can require teams to mobilise across borders at relatively short notice, with travel, compliance and documentation all needing careful coordination.

At Elevate Offshore, we continue to develop our personnel network across the regions and disciplines we support, keeping close contact with contractors and clients as project requirements develop.

If you’re planning upcoming personnel requirements or looking for your next offshore assignment, get in touch with our team.

Your first trip offshore is one you'll remember for a long time. There's plenty to take in, from safety briefings and vessel inductions to finding your cabin and working alongside people you've only just met. It can feel like a lot, but everyone on board has been the new person at some point.

That's exactly why we spoke to members of the Elevate Offshore team about their own first trips. They shared the lessons they learned, the mistakes they'd rather laugh about now, and the advice they wish someone had given them before they stepped onto a vessel for the first time. Their experiences show that confidence comes with time, good preparation and a willingness to learn.

If you're preparing for your first offshore assignment, or if you're considering a career at sea, our latest blog is well worth a read. It offers practical advice that can help you arrive better prepared, settle in more quickly and make the most of the opportunity ahead.

Every offshore project depends on having the right people in the right roles at the right time. Finding them takes more than sending a collection of CVs and hoping one works out.

At Elevate Offshore, we take the time to understand your project, your team and the technical requirements behind every position. That means looking beyond qualifications to find professionals who fit the way you operate and can contribute from day one. We work as an extension of your team because that's the level of responsibility we expect from ourselves.

Our experience comes from the offshore industry itself. We understand mobilisation, project deadlines and the importance of reliable communication. We also know that delivering good people is only part of the job. Supporting clients before, during and after mobilisation is equally important, whether it's logistics, compliance or simply picking up the phone when you need us.

If you're looking for a personnel partner that understands offshore operations as well as offshore recruitment, we'd welcome the opportunity to talk.

A strong offshore survey CV makes everyone's job easier. It helps recruiters understand your experience quickly and gives hiring managers confidence that you have the skills they're looking for before the interview even begins.

At Elevate Offshore, we review CVs every day. The best ones are clear, accurate and up to date. They show relevant project experience, technical skills, software proficiency and current certifications without burying the important details under pages of unnecessary information. A CV is there to open the door, not tell your entire life story.

We've also seen plenty of good candidates miss opportunities because key information was missing or out of date. It can be something as simple as an expired certificate, unclear project dates or software experience that never made it onto the page. Small details have a habit of creating big questions.

If your CV could do with a refresh, we've put together this guide to help you present your experience properly: https://www.elevateoffshore.com/blog/top-tips-for-a-winning-offshore-survey-cv/

The successful production of green hydrogen on an operational North Sea platform is an interesting development for the offshore industry.

The PosHYdon pilot, operating on Eni Energy Netherlands' Q13a-A platform in the Dutch North Sea, is the first project to successfully combine offshore wind power, hydrogen production and natural gas operations on a live offshore installation. Using electricity generated by offshore wind, seawater is converted into demineralised water before hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, all while the platform continues normal gas production.

While it is still an early-stage pilot, it demonstrates that existing offshore infrastructure could play a wider role as the energy sector continues to develop.

Repurposing platforms has the potential to extend the working life of valuable assets while creating opportunities for engineering, inspection, integrity management and offshore construction. It also reinforces the value of the specialist skills that already exist across the sector, including survey, ROV, inspection and project personnel.

As more projects combine traditional offshore operations with newer energy technologies, experience gained across multiple sectors becomes increasingly valuable. The expertise built over decades in the North Sea has the potential to support a much broader range of offshore projects than many people realise.

It will be interesting to see where projects like this lead over the next few years.

Reports over the past week suggest the incoming UK government could accelerate approvals for existing North Sea oil and gas developments while maintaining its position on new exploration licences. If confirmed, this would signal greater support for projects that are already in the pipeline rather than opening the door to a new wave of exploration.

For the offshore industry, the impact extends well beyond individual projects. Greater certainty around existing developments encourages investment, supports vessel utilisation, strengthens the wider supply chain and helps retain specialist capability that has taken decades to build. Those skills are equally valuable across oil and gas, offshore wind, subsea infrastructure and emerging energy projects.

The North Sea continues to play an important role in the UK's energy mix and maintaining a healthy offshore sector benefits far more than operators alone. It supports engineering expertise, regional economies and the businesses that keep complex offshore operations moving safely and efficiently.

There is still plenty of detail to emerge, but the direction of travel is encouraging for many across the offshore community.

Which direction do you think the UK offshore sector will take over the next few years?
