Your Source for Fast, Quality & Reliable Marine Ship Repair Staff
For over 25 years, Tidewater Staffing has been delivering unrivaled ship repair workforce solutions for our clients in southeastern Virginia. When you need to hire your next marine tradesmen, let our expansive network and deep industry experience go to work on your behalf.
Types of Marine/ Ship Repair Roles We Place
Some of the ship repair roles that we commonly place of for our clients include:
Blasting and painting tradesmen are always in demand. Whether it’s on a vessel or in the shipyard, our customers are always happy to hear that we have and are always recruiting for sandblasters (C7s) Ultra High-Pressure hydro blasters (C13s), and people with experience power tooling. We understand the tools of the trade and the steps associated with preservation work. We even have tools that we bring into our training rooms to supplement our classroom training. Our associates will come to you with the knowledge and experience necessary to run a needle gun or deck crawler and will come with the correct double ear and double eye protection.
When your surfaces have been cleaned and prepped, our painting workforce will be ready to step in. We have the brush and roll painters that know what painting ‘under the lip’ means and paint sprayers that have the certifications (C12) and experience to back their resumes. While TSI does not certify the painters, we work closely with the SSPC to verify certifications and have even paid for the training of special cases in order to satisfy the requirements of our customers (ask about our customized training programs to see if your company is a fit!).
