Government Employers

Government Job Titles
One reason the government
sector has become more
popular in recent times is
because of downturns in
other sectors of the marine
industry. Although
government jobs have
always been attractive
because of their payscales,
benefits, and opportunity for
advancement, they have
seen greater attention these
days.
Another reason for the
popularity of the government
sector is that these jobs are
usually associated with
decent benefits. Maybe no
one thought twice about
having to someday make
contributions to a company
health insurance plan, but no
one ever foresaw how those
expenses would go through
the roof. Things like full
medical, dental, eye-care
plans and the like are big
draws for the civil service.
The New York City Department of
Environmental Conservation
is looking for
candidates to man its sludge boats that operate
in its local waters. The job is featured in
tugboatjobs.net, to which we provide a link from
our section on
Tugboat Jobs..
Government jobs  aboard US Military Sealift Command vessels definitely have their
advantages...  single staterooms even for junior crew members, overtime opportunities,
and nice amenities in crew staterooms. Read about life on the civilian side of the
replenishment drill aboard the
Government Vessel Robert E. Peary.
Aside from the stability, an attractive aspect of
government jobs is the benefits packages.
With the rising cost of providing things like
health and dental insurance, vision plans,
pension plans, paid training, it is difficult for
small fleet operators to offer these things.
The MIlitary Sealift
Command
is
looking for a number
of licensed and
unlicensed mariners.
They are a large
federal employer that
handles underway
replenishment for
naval vessels as
well as cargo and
logistics for the
armed forces. Click

that performs
underway
refueling for
naval vessels.
A growing in the government sector is in the area of government security jobs. The
image above captures the trials of underway fleet replenishment, a role of the
Military
Sealift Command . The U.S. Coast Guard Academy post various positions, including
Lecturer-Electrical Engineer. See Jobs at the US Coast Guard Academy
A new job to appear is Management and Program Analyst  in the Legal Section. Another
position worth checking out is
Intelligence Research Operations Specialist , featured at
several locations. The Navy  posts openings for
boiler plant operators.

A big reason for getting jobs in the government sector is the stability and security of a
government job, on the federal, state or city level. Private companies are laying off
employees in droves because of competition from overseas, diminishing markets, or
strict environmental and safety regulations. For many, the notion of being treated like a
disposable worker is frightening. The appeal in jobs with the federal government, a
state government, or municipality could be a response to such a fear.
Trivia: What is a
two hold ship
?
What is Homesteading? It's when you realize you've got a good gig on a ship and do what you
can to stay onboard, sometimes in the same stateroom for years at a time. It's a phenomenon you
won't see on rusting bulk carriers flying flags of convenience, operated by greedy shipowners
who have to be dragged into court to pay their officers and crew. But on government vessels
operating under the Military Sealift Command, you'll see it a lot. Government salaried officers and
crew on these vessels enjoy single staterooms, television sets, video games and opportunities for
overtime work. Read more about life in this government sector below. Photo: Underway
