What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

Technicians start with safety briefings and permit checks, followed by inspections and planned maintenance. Tasks include troubleshooting hydraulic systems, replacing components, and performing functional tests. Every job demands precision and adherence to safety standards. Offshore conditions often require flexibility�weather changes, logistical constraints, and evolving scopes mean technicians must adapt quickly while maintaining compliance and efficiency.

Technical description: A typical day involves rigorous planning and execution. After toolbox talks and hazard identification, technicians verify isolation points, inspect rigging, and confirm calibration of tools. Work may include gearbox alignment, slew bearing checks, wire rope MRT, and hydraulic system diagnostics. Documentation is continuous, capturing measurements, torque values, and photographic evidence for QA/QC and audit readiness.

Conbit can assist: We provide highly skilled technicians supported by engineering teams for complex offshore crane maintenance. Our services include method statement preparation, risk assessments, and contingency planning to minimize downtime. We also offer digital reporting tools for real-time progress tracking and compliance documentation. When major repairs are required, Conbit can mobilize temporary lifting systems to maintain operational continuity.
