Introduction
🌊 Offshore Diving | Inspection | Engineering
Hi everyone, I’m Rafał — currently training as a commercial diver at NYD, with a strong background in offshore structures and inspection.
🔧 Offshore & Fabrication Experience
I’ve been working on large-scale projects within:
  • Offshore structures
  • Wind energy (jackets, transition pieces, heavy steel)
  • Fabrication & final-stage production
I gained my experience with Victor Buyck, Nemac, and Smulders, where I was involved in complex projects, including supervision of repair works, inspections, and quality control on critical structures.
🧪 Inspection & Certifications
  • International Welding Engineer (IWE)
  • VT2 (Visual Testing Level 2)
  • FROSIO Level III (Coating Inspection)
  • GWO + selected GWO BTT modules
This gives me a strong foundation in:
  • Structural inspection
  • Coating systems & corrosion protection
  • Welding quality & defect assessment
🤿 Transition to Diving
Right now I’m building my path in offshore diving, combining hands-on technical knowledge with subsea capabilities.
Planned certifications:
  • CSWIP 3.1U (Underwater Welding Inspection)
  • BOSIET & HUET
⚙️ What I bring offshore
  • Real experience with complex steel structures
  • Ability to supervise and inspect in multiple disciplines
  • Understanding of fabrication, repair, and QA/QC processes
  • Strong work ethic and readiness for demanding offshore environments
🤝 Open to opportunities
I’m looking to join projects where I can grow as a diver/inspector and contribute to high-level offshore operations.
If you’re working on subsea inspections, structural repairs, or offshore projects — let’s connect.
