from Science, Mathematics and Other Degrees to marine contracting
Sometimes the less obvious choice can be the more exciting one - often, perhaps, the more rewarding too.
If your degree is in mathematics, computing or any of the science disciplines (ranging from physics and chemistry to subjects such as geography and the environment), why not think beyond the ordinary and consider a career in marine contracting where the sea adds an extra dimension to every role?
Here is a thriving $20-billion international industry with virtually unlimited opportunities for graduates whose core skills lie in the areas of solving problems, communicating with others about options for solutions, choosing cost-effective paths and delivering projects to customers.
You'll become a member of a worldwide team of specialists involved in activities which include the construction of new offshore oil and gas installations, as well as the operation of new and ever-more sophisticated vessels and equipment.
You could become part of an offshore diving team, controlling underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), or using your geography degree grasping to survey and chart ocean beds around the world.
While engineering and construction are at the heart of the marine contracting industry, there's a wide diversity of opportunities in project and personnel management as well as in planning and commercial roles where your analytical skills will be valued.
The one thing they all have in common is the buzz that pervades our industry. There are few other careers that combine the challenge of major construction projects with cutting-edge technologies and opportunities for international travel.
At sea, and on land, a career in marine contracting will be fast-moving, often stimulating and always absorbing.
So don’t simply settle for the ordinary when a career in the marine contracting industry could offer so much more.
