What should I expect from an offshore surveying interview?

United Kingdom

Hi there.

I’m a Geology student in the UK, interviewing with an offshore surveying company tomorrow, just wanted to ask about what sort of questions I should expect.

It‘s a graduate role, so I imagine it’ll be some “are you willing to stay on a boat for x weeks at a time”, but what else should I expect? I’ve done some research on the technology involved in the line of work, ROVs and USBL positioning and stuff, and research on the company’s history and that sort of thing.

Also, if anyone has worked in this line of work, what would the day to day look like, and what would a graduate actually be doing on the job?
