This role is essential on vessels such as drill ships, diving support vessels (DSVs), and platform supply vessels (PSVs). SDPOs ensure precise station-keeping, which is critical during offshore operations like drilling, subsea construction, and diving support. Careers as SDPOs offer excellent salaries, rotation-based contracts, and international exposure. To qualify, seafarers need a dynamic positioning certificate and relevant sea experience. Jobs for SDPOs are highly sought after due to the complexity of operations and responsibility involved.

For those with strong technical and navigational skills, SDPO careers represent one of the most challenging and rewarding paths in the maritime industry.
