Inspection Diver

You’re the person who goes where others can’t — below the surface, into low‑visibility environments, and into the real conditions where restoration work happens. This is not recreational diving. This is working diving.

At Sea & Shoreline, our divers support dredging, restoration, and marine construction efforts in active field environments. The work can be physical, repetitive, and at times uncomfortable — but it is essential to the success of our projects. You help crews move work forward safely and effectively by executing underwater tasks, supporting dredging operations, and ensuring work below the surface is done right the first time.
