The salary of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pilot typically ranges from $40,000 to $100,000 per year, depending on experience, location, and the specific industry they work in, such as oil and gas or underwater research. Entry-level positions may start around $40,000, while experienced pilots, especially those with specialized skills or in high-demand areas, can earn upwards of $80,000 or more. Additional benefits and overtime can also impact total compensation.
ROV means remotely operated underwater vehicle, so the pilot isn't in the machine. The pilot is sitting at a control panel on a ship nearby.
