Company Seeks Bilingual Nutritionist to Lead Offshore Operation with Strong Focus on Management, Safety, and Technical Compliance
A strategic opportunity is moving the offshore sector in Macaé since November 22, 2025, as announced by Sodexo itself. The company, recognized worldwide for its facilities operations, has initiated the selection for Operational Unit Manager I – Bilingual Offshore Nutritionist, thereby attracting the attention of professionals specialized in maritime hospitality, nutrition, and operational management.
Once again, the sector demonstrates expansion. Reports from the National Agency of Petroleum (ANP) published in October 2025 indicate growth in onboard activities, which increases the demand for qualified professionals prepared for high-complexity environments.
Technical Analysis Reveals Growing Demand for Specialized Skills
The position arises in a context of strengthening maritime operations in the country. Since 2024, updates to the Regulatory Standards NR-30 and NR-37, according to information from the Ministry of Labor, have raised safety requirements for onboard teams.

Therefore, the role encompasses responsibilities that require technical expertise and active leadership. The professional will need to supervise unit processes, ensuring contractual compliance and consistent quality. Additionally, they will need to monitor operational indicators, evaluate performance, develop strategies, and ensure that results meet internal and external standards.
According to Sodexo, the manager will be responsible for planning the annual budget, promoting efficiency throughout the operational cycle, and strengthening internal communication to guide teams in technical, behavioral, and health and safety actions.
Operational Impacts and Requirements for Offshore Work
The position requires solid experience in critical environments and thus demands specific qualifications. The candidate must have a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition, with active CRN 4, as determined by Resolution CFN No. 600/2018. Moreover, it will be necessary to prove experience in UAN, offshore hospitality, or hospital and educational sectors.
However, one of the most important requirements involves mandatory safety certifications. The company emphasizes the necessity of CBSP – Basic Safety Course in Platform, required by the Brazilian Navy since 1989, and T-HUET – Submarine Helicopter Escape Training, a standard requirement for offshore air transportation since 2014, according to regulations from ANAC and IBAMA.
Furthermore, the position requires intermediate English, advanced use of the Office Suite, and mastery of integrated systems, essential for processing operational data.
Structured Benefits and Regulated Work Routine
Sodexo also informs of structured benefits that follow corporate practices adopted since its arrival in Brazil in 1978. The hired individual will have health plan with co-participation, dental plan, PLR, guaranteed meals, chartered transportation, life insurance, Support Pass, access to WellHub, Vitttude, and boarding allowances according to current legislation.
The schedule will be 14×14, a traditional model in the offshore industry, regulated by CLT under special working conditions.
Race for Qualified Professionals Intensifies Regional Scenario
Just as seen in other strategic areas of the Brazilian economy in 2025, the region of Macaé observes an increase in the demand for prepared technical leaders capable of facing complex challenges. Reports from Firjan published in September 2025 indicate that the municipality remains one of the main hiring hubs for maritime operations.
However, this growing demand requires professionals who can balance management, safety, nutrition, and compliance. Therefore, the company emphasizes that it seeks candidates with high leadership capacity and mastery of operational processes.
What Does This Opportunity Represent for the Sector?
Offshore sector experts point out that roles like this reflect a structural evolution in Brazilian maritime operations. The combination of strategic management, applied nutrition, and operational safety has become indispensable on platforms, especially after regulatory reviews that occurred in 2023 and 2024.
Thus, the position demonstrates how the industry has begun to adopt stricter standards to ensure well-being, efficiency, and safety in isolated environments.
In light of this, the question arises: how should specialized professionals prepare to meet the growing demands of modern offshore operations?
