  • Tool Proficiency: Skilled with manual and power tools (saws, drills, tile cutters, and more).
  • Physical Stamina: Comfortable lifting materials, kneeling, and working in tight shipboard spaces.
  • DBIDS Eligibility: Ability to pass a background check for access to military shipyards (NNSY, HII).
  • Safety Certifications: OSHA or shipyard-specific safety training is a plus.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive Pay: Based on experience, with room for growth.
  • Career Advancement: Learn specialized SHT Tile Installation skills for submarines.
  • Exciting Work Environment: Work on high-profile shipbuilding and repair projects.
