Matthew Gagnebin serves as senior manager of dynamic positioning in Noble’s Operational Integrity organization, where he leads the company’s DP Governance Group to elevate standards, competency and operational support across a global fleet.

His 25‑year maritime journey spans blue‑water navigation, offshore oil and gas operations, and DP systems leadership.

After graduating from Texas Maritime Academy with a 3rd Mate Unlimited deck license, Gagnebin launched his offshore career on survey vessels in the South Pacific, then advanced to captaining offshore supply vessels. He later transitioned to drillships in the Gulf of Mexico as DPO, working on DP3 units then supporting DP system commissioning during newbuild programs.

In 2019, Gagnebin moved shoreside with Noble as marine simulation and training manager, building integrated training and competency pathways. He then advanced into operational roles as DP superintendent and senior manager developing the DP Governance Group to be first choice focused on incident‑free DP operations, barrier management and continuous improvement across operational station‑keeping, DP trials and marine training.
