Inspect and maintain all rescue and gas detection equipment to ensure operational readiness.
Provide input into rescue pre-plans and emergency procedures.
Coordinate directly with confined space attendants, entrants, supervisors, and permit issuers.
Respond rapidly and effectively to confined space incidents or emergencies.
Ensure all rescue operations comply with CSA Z1006-16, WSCC regulations, and internal safety standards.
Coordinate with emergency services if an incident occurs.


Required Qualifications and Certifications:

Confined Space Rescue Certification (NFPA 1006 or equivalent).
Fall Protection Certification (issued within the last 2 years).
First Aid Level C with CPR/AED.
Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in confined space rescue or industrial emergency response.
Proficient in the use of atmospheric monitoring and ventilation equipment.
Demonstrated ability to deliver hands-on training in confined space environments.
Physically fit and capable of performing rescues in challenging confined environments.
Excellent situational awareness, teamwork, and communication skills.
Rope rescue or high-angle rescue training (SPRAT/IRATA) considered an asset
Marine or shipyard experience considered an asset.


Working Conditions:

Work is primarily conducted outdoors or in confined marine environments.
Physical demands include climbing, lifting, crawling, and use of safety harness systems.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is mandatory and provided.
Remote work coordination may be required between deployments.

If you are ready to embark on an exciting career in the maritime industry, we invite you to apply today and join our dedicated team at Horizon Maritime Services Ltd!
