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 U.S. Navy  posts openings for boiler plant operators.
Although the boiler and steam turbine have fallen out of
being the prime-mover of choice for commercial and military
vessels alike, there are still shoreside facility opportunities.

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

A very tough government job   In all fairness, it was actually a naval job and not a
government job in this photograph. The fleet oiler USS Neosho is refueing the carrier
USS Yorktown in May 1942 in very rough seas. This photo was snapped after a giant
wave almost swept away the hose crew. A new posting appears at the government's job
site for
Engine & Pump Operator - under the Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet .
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.

A new job to appear is naval architect with Naval Sea Systems Command. Another
position
purchasing vessels & goods for the USCG as a Contract Specialist is a new
addition. There is an
opening for third assistant engineer with NOAA. 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.
