Offshore Realities: Noble Voyager
The life of an offshore worker can be challenging to understand, especially for those who have yet actually to be aboard a commercial vessel or rig. At AGR, we want our people to understand what life is like in as many offshore working environments as possible; that’s why we take every opportunity to send members of our team out to see what life at sea is like.
Last month, an opportunity fell to Account Manager Eilidh Cargill. Eilidh headed off to Suriname to meet the crew aboard the Noble Voyager, a 748-foot Drill Ship. It’s fair to say that this was no vacation; Eilidh was kept very busy for the duration of her stay on board, but the experience will be invaluable to her in her role in the future.
When recruiting for a vessel that performs such critical work as the Noble Voyager, it’s vital to find the right blend of personality and culture; it’s essential to ensure the team and the vessel operate at maximum proficiency. You’ll find that any successful ship has a cohesive and balanced culture that runs from the top and through every team member on board. Understanding that synergy is required to perform consistently at the highest level is why these visits are so important to us at AGR.
The photos Eilidh brought back clearly show how much goes into the smooth operation of these massive vessels. It relies on experienced people working as a team all day, every day. At AGR, we pride ourselves on finding the right people, but it doesn’t happen by accident; our team’s first-hand experiences help them to find the right people for the right projects.
