Job Description
Marine Surface Prep & Coatings Technician — Pascagoula, MS
Pay & Terms: $34.99/hr + $147.04/day per diem (for qualified travelers) | 12-month contract | Full-time | Immediate start
A day in this roleSunrise on the Gulf Coast, and you’re stepping onto the deck of a major shipbuilding project. You kit up, inspect your blasting setup, and verify your spray equipment. By mid-morning, you’ve profiled steel to spec, masked intricate edges, and laid down a flawless marine coating with airless spray—hitting the exact mil thickness the project calls for. After lunch, you correct a surface imperfection, document your coating readings, and transition to the next module, keeping pace with production schedules while upholding shipyard safety protocols. You wrap with equipment care so everything’s mission-ready for tomorrow.
What you’ll handle- Execute abrasive blasting with approved industrial equipment and techniques
- Prepare metal via sanding, grinding, masking, and cleaning to ensure optimal adhesion
- Apply marine and industrial coatings using advanced spray systems to defined quality and thickness specs
- Verify blast profiles and coating coverage against project requirements
- Diagnose and correct surface defects to meet stringent shipyard standards
- Set up, operate, and maintain blasting and painting gear, including air hoses and spray equipment
- Keep tools and work areas in top condition; follow safety procedures and meet production timelines
- Work safely in confined spaces, at heights, and outdoors in varying weather while wearing required PPE
- 3+ years of recent Painter/Blaster experience in marine or heavy industrial environments
- Mastery of abrasive blasting, marine coatings, surface prep, and airless spray application
- Ability to read and follow technical work instructions and specifications
- Skill measuring coating thickness and repairing defects
- Physical readiness for shipyard work: lifting, climbing, and extended shifts
- Background in industrial painting within confined spaces
- Comfort operating power tools and rust machines
- Experience checking coating thickness with a mil gauge
- Highly competitive pay with generous traveler per diem
- Long-term, full-time contract with clear paths for advancement
- Hands-on impact on large-scale, high-profile marine and shipbuilding programs
- Supportive, safety-focused culture with room to expand your technical toolkit
Bring your shipyard experience to a leading Pascagoula team shaping the future of maritime engineering. Send your updated resume and confirm your qualifications for immediate consideration.
Pre-employment physical exam, hair follicle drug screen, background check, and shipyard credentialing required.
