Deepwater Marine Services

$115K–$200K Compensation
New Orleans, LA Location
Deepwater Marine Services Employer

About the Role

Underwater welding is one of the most lucrative trades in the country and almost nobody enters it because they don't know how. We train commercial divers with welding skills and send them to certification schools. You'll start as a surface supply diver and move into underwater welding on oil platform risers, pipeline tie-ins, and bridge pilings. Pay is day rate based — top welders in the Gulf are making $800-$1,200/day. We sponsor yourCommercial Diver certification if you have the right background.

What We're Looking For

Welding experience (any process) and comfort in water. Physically fit and able to pass a commercial diving physical. No prior diving certification needed — we sponsor it. Steel toed boots and a hard hat mentality.
