Alongside the Skipper, First Mate and Science Officer, you will assist with the delivery of the survey work and provide an inspirational and memorable on-board experience for expedition volunteers. We are recruiting for two Survey Support Volunteers who will each be allocated four surveys on board Silurian, during which time you will be at sea.
