Remote operation careers

Remote operation means controlling or supporting equipment from somewhere other than the equipment itself.

Where to start

Examples include drones, ROVs, connected vehicles, robotics and remote diagnostics. Some roles are genuinely remote-control jobs; others still require field travel, maintenance or control-centre attendance. Check the working pattern in real vacancies.

Use vacancies as evidence

Open several current vacancies before choosing training. Write down the requirements that appear repeatedly, the location or remote pattern, salary and exact job titles. That is more useful than buying a course because an advert promises a career.
