Context & Environment

Total Energies E&P is a major player in the UK energy industry, with operations spanning the entire oil and gas value chain. The company has a long history of investing in energy projects in Scotland and the North Sea.

An opportunity has arisen for a Multi-Skilled Production Operator (MSPO) on one of Total Energies Assets in the UKCS. We are looking for talented and motivated individuals to join our offshore operation, where you will be part of a dynamic and diverse team striving to continue safe production.

TotalEnergies operates on a three on, four off rotation and offers a competitive benefits package which includes pensions, share scheme, healthcare and dental.

The MSPO is a position within the operations teams on the offshore installation. The main purpose of the position is to provide each shift with an experienced operations technician, in order to strengthen the core skills, knowledge and experience within the operations teams. Additionally the MSPO will provide a recognised relief for the senior operational positions (i.e. Control Room Operator or Area Authority). Preferably, the MSPO will have a 'trade core skill' in one of the operational disciplines.

There will be one MSPO per shift team, and they will be fully flexible in attitude and outlook, with the expectancy that they will not only take an operational lead on their respective shifts, but (where competent) provide an additional resource in order to provide 'stand-in' for the shift where and when required at the direction of the platform's operations management.

As required, undertake periods of work onshore in order to prepare shutdown plans, intervention packs, permits and assist in all associated administration. The times and dates of these periods will be mutually agreed by operations management and the individuals concerned.

The role is offered on a fixed-term basis (9 months).
