Job Description

Role Overview: The Crib Out-Take Monitor is responsible for continuously observing the submarine cable as it exits the barge’s cable crib (pan) and heads onshore. This is a critical safety and quality role focused on detecting any potential problems (snags, entanglements, abnormal tension) at the moment the cable leaves the pan. The person in this position serves as the eyes on the cable feed and acts as an immediate alert system to prevent cable damage or accidents.

Key Responsibilities:

Stationed at the cable egress point (where cable goes from barge to shore) for the entire shift. Maintain a clear line of sight on the moving cable and connectors as they travel out of the pan.

Continuously monitor cable tension and alignment. Look for any subtle signs of issues, such as cable rubbing on edges, loops lifting incorrectly, or jerking motions that indicate a snag or tangle.

Immediately communicate and intervene when an anomaly is observed. Use pre-agreed hand signals, a horn, or a designated radio channel to signal the equipment operator and Crew Lead to STOP the cable feed if needed.

Assist in resolution: Work with the crew to help identify the cause of a snag (point it out, if visible) and verify when it’s cleared so operations can resume.

Keep a log of any events or near-misses observed during the shift for reporting and continuous improvement.

When cable feed is running smoothly, remain vigilant and not distracted by other tasks. However, may help with small tasks nearby if they do not compromise monitoring (for instance, once a connector passes, can briefly assist in repositioning it if within view).
