OSM Thome is seeking a Crane Operator (CRO) to join its offshore Service Operation Vessels (SOV) in Taiwan. The successful candidate will handle deck and offshore lifts in a safe and efficient manner, supporting marine and offshore operations in a busy windfarm environment.

The role also involves carrying out daily checks, basic maintenance and troubleshooting on the crane, following all safety rules, permit to work and lifting plans, and reporting any defects, near misses and unsafe conditions.
Proven experience as an offshore Crane Operator, preferably on SOV or similar vessels, is required, along with a valid offshore crane operator/lifting certification (G5 or higher). Holding the Seaonics course 'Seaonics 32M Gangway' is preferable. STCW certificates and a valid offshore medical fitness certificate are essential, as are good English communication skills and a strong safety mindset. The candidate must be willing to work on a rotational offshore schedule in Taiwan and able to work in a mixed-nationality crew.
Under the STCW Convention, crane operators must hold appropriate training and certification for offshore lifting operations, including knowledge of safety, communication and emergency procedures. Experience on SOVs, which typically operate in offshore wind farms, requires familiarity with personnel and equipment transfer operations in dynamic conditions.
