NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations will hold two hiring events in San Diego, California to recruit professional mariners to work aboard NOAA’s ocean research ships. The events will be held on Jan. 28 and 29.
NOAA operates a fleet of 15 hydrographic survey, oceanographic research and fisheries survey vessels. NOAA ships operate in the U.S. and around the world. The ships are run by a combination of NOAA commissioned officers and civilian professional mariners.
NOAA’s civilian professional mariners are federal employees and include engineers, and unlicensed members of the engine, steward and deck departments. In addition, survey and electronic technicians operate and/or maintain the ship's mission, communications and navigation equipment.
NOAA staff will be at the hiring events to answer questions and expedite the hiring process for qualified individuals. Qualified applicants could be issued a tentative job offer on the spot. In particular, NOAA is hiring licensed engineers, oilers, junior engineers, able seaman and cooks.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Please bring a photo I.D. (driver’s license, passport, etc.) to the event. Applicants are also encouraged to bring, if available:
- Merchant Mariners Credential
- Resume
- Transportation Worker Identification Card
- Military service record
