IMCA welcomes two new members to the Secretariat

Roger Moore has joined as a Technical Adviser for Remote Systems and Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) and Offshore Survey.

Roger has been working in the ROV sector for over 27 years having previously held positions offshore, ranging from Trainee Pilot Technician to OPM, and onshore as an ROV Operations Manager and Technical Authority.

Prior to this, Roger served in the British Army for the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers working on Chieftain Main battle tanks and receiving electrical, mechanical and hydraulics trade training. He has written several training programmes and has hosted internships as a STEM Ambassador.

Jim Cullen, IMCA’s Technical Director said: “Roger is a valuable new addition to our technical team and will be driving the Offshore Survey and Remote Systems & ROV Division Committees, as well as overseeing the development of guidance on a variety of surveying techniques.

“His expertise will be invaluable in supporting our Members’ work with ROVs and AUVs and his in-depth understanding of technical requirements – including hardware, software, offshore operations and crew competence – will be a huge asset to IMCA.”
