Facilities

The Future is Yours to Construct

Also known as the Maintenance Department, Facilities does a little bit of everything. Aside from the more well-known responsibilities like performing maintenance on equipment, keeping the facility clean and turning the heat on, they also do a wide variety of critical tasks.

From supplying tools to the shipyard to undertaking massive construction projects to modernize the plant, and even operating the dry-dock to float-ships off, the Facilities Department is everywhere.

Working for Facilities is a team-based culture, with endless growth opportunities. I love being part of a diverse team that is resilient and has years of experience.
