Position Summary

Oceaneering's Marine Services Division (MSD) is seeking Inside Machinists to support the manufacturing of complex, critical submarine components in a low-volume, build-to-print environment. Unlike high-volume "widget" machining shops, our work consists of one-off and non-repeat builds with tight tolerances, exotic alloys, and high-quality standards that directly support the U.S. Navy submarine fleet.

This role does not require travel but may require overtime.
