Greetings,
Your resume has been forwarded for consideration for the position of General Vessel Assistant.
The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) roots date back
to 1807, when the Nation’s first scientific agency, the Survey of the
Coast, was established. Since then, NOAA
has evolved to meet the needs of a changing country. NOAA maintains a
presence in every state and has emerged as an international leader on
scientific and environmental matters.
NOAA's mission
is to understand and predict changes in Earth’s environment and
conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation’s
economic, social and environmental needs. NOAA is an agency that
enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the
sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep citizens
informed of the changing environment around them. From daily weather
forecasts, severe storm warnings and climate monitoring to fisheries
management, coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce, NOAA's
products and services support economic vitality and affect more than
one-third of America’s gross domestic product. NOAA's dedicated
scientists use cutting-edge research and high-tech instrumentation to
provide citizens, planners, emergency
managers and other decision makers with reliable information they need
when they need it.
NOAA operates
a wide assortment of Hydrographic Survey, Oceanographic Research, and
Fisheries Research vessels. These vessels are operated by NOAA's Office
of Marine and Aviation Operations. Ships located in the Pacific are
managed by the Marine Operations Center, Pacific (MOP) in Newport, OR.
Ships located in the Atlantic are managed by the Marine Operations
Center, Atlantic (MOA) in Norfolk, VA. Logistic support for the vessels
are provided by the appropriate marine operations center or, for
vessels in Woods Hole, MA, Charleston, SC, Pascagoula, MS, San Diego,
CA, Davisville, RI and Honolulu, HI by Port Captains located in those
ports. NOAA also has homeports located in Ketchikan, AK; Kodiak, AK.
The
ships are run by a combination of NOAA Commissioned Officers and Wage
Marine civilians. The Wage Marine personnel include licensed masters,
mate, and engineers, and unlicensed members of the engine, steward, and
deck departments. In addition, survey and electronic technicians
operate and/or maintain the ship’s mission, communication and navigation
equipment. The ship’s officers and crew provide mission support and
assistance to embarked scientist from various NOAA laboratories as well
as the academic community.
Today,
NOAA is the largest operator of Federal research vessels. NOAA offers a
diversified fleet, which involves a variety of missions and offer job
security, good pay, and the benefits of being a civil service employee.
Room
and board is provided aboard the ship for all employees and depending
upon your position and the berthing situation on board, you may/may not
share a room with another crew member.
All employees will be hired in a permanent status, under the mixed tour agreement.
Selected
individuals may be hired within the Marine Operations Center Relief
Pool. This type of work is a combination of periods of full-time,
part-time, and intermittent work schedule which allows the best
utilization of the employee based on the work requirements of the
organization. Mariners hired in the Relief Pool will need to be
available for a minimum of 120 days (not all 120 days will be for sea
time) between April 1 and November 30 each calendar year and will need
to be able to commit to at least one 30 day (sea time) assignment for
each calendar year. Opportunity to work more than 120 days may become
available during our sailing season.
Selected individuals that are hired aboard one vessel, will be expected to work year around (excluding training/leave/etc.)
If interested in possible employment, please inform me what department you wish to be considered: Deck, Engine or Steward Department
Understand,
this is not a job offer. Please reply to this message to indicate
whether you are still interested or if you wish to be withdrawn from
consideration NLT Wednesday, May 22, 2013. If you have any questions, please contact me at (757) 441-3865. You may also view more information at http://www.moc.noaa.gov.
