Underwater Inspection Insider: Programme Manager Intro
Underwater inspection plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, integrity, and long-term performance of marine and offshore structures. From subsea assets to complex inspection environments, the discipline requires a combination of technical expertise, operational awareness, and specialist training.
In a newly released introductory video, Marek Wojcik, the Programme Manager for Underwater Diving Inspection at TWI Training, provides insight into his role, the scope of the programme, and how underwater inspection has developed over time as an essential engineering discipline.
Marek outlines his responsibilities within underwater and topside inspection training, highlighting the balance between delivering structured training programmes and ensuring alignment with industry requirements. His role involves supporting the development of inspection professionals working in challenging offshore and underwater environments, where safety, accuracy, and technical competence are critical.
Evolution of Role
Marek explains how both the role and the wider field of underwater inspection have progressed over time. As offshore and marine industries continue to evolve, so do the expectations placed onto the inspection professionals. Advances in technology, safety standards, and operational complexity have all contributed to a more structured and specialised training approach. The programme reflects this shift by focusing on practical knowledge, industry relevance, and competency-based development.
The topside and underwater inspection programmes delivered by TWI Training are designed to support professionals working across marine, offshore, and structural inspection sectors.
These programmes aim to do the following:
- Develop core inspection competencies
- Strengthen understanding of offshore inspection environments
- Support career development in specialist inspection roles
- Align training with current industry standards and practices
