Company Overview

The research and survey ships operated, managed and maintained by NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations comprise the largest fleet of federal research ships in the nation–and they are hiring professional mariners to sail on them.

NOAA ships are operated by NOAA Corps officers and civilian professional mariners.

Working on a NOAA vessel isn’t just another job on another ship. Professional mariners are an integral part of the scientific mission.
