Who We Are
O2 Marine is a boutique marine environmental and oceanographic consulting business with offices in Western Australia and Queensland.
Since O2 Marine was founded in 2014, we have quickly become one of the largest specialist marine consulting teams in Australia. An achievement that was recognised in November 2021, when O2 Marine was named in the Australian Financial Review as one of the TOP 100 fastest growing companies in Australia and O2 Metocean was named as in the Top 100 fastest growing start-ups in Australia.
At O2 Marine, we understand that our continued success is not possible without the outstanding contribution of our passionate, motivated and engaged team. It is our team and our culture that has allowed us to build a strong reputation as a highly competent marine technical consultancy.
Although only recognised as a ‘small to medium-sized business’, O2 Marine has the corporate structure, established corporate procedures and internationally accredited management systems (e.g. ISO9001:2015 Quality Management Systems, ISO14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems, ISO45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) that our clients typically expect of a major international consulting company, with the primary differences being our more personalised and accountable approach, our flexibility and our lower cost base.
Our team
The O2 Marine team is led by practical experience, with our company directors actively involved in project delivery. At O2 Marine, our staff know they will be both challenged and rewarded as they strive to ensure positive outcomes for our clients and their projects.
At O2 Marine, we select and train our staff to ensure that they can perform both the technical and practical elements of what it means to be a marine scientist or oceanographer at O2 Marine. This means that many of our scientists and engineers are also trained mariners, commercial divers, vessel masters and riggers.
