Do you love to compete? Are you hungry for achievement? Are you an A player and want to work with other A-players? Do you want to start a career and work for a company where culture is nurtured and managed as a critical source of advantage? Where every employee knows and is passionate about direction and strategy? If so, AML Oceanographic would love for you to join the team today.
AML Oceanographic has clocked an average annual growth of 20% over the past 8 years, and most importantly, has built a team that provides an outstanding experience and truly cares about our customers. AML has a market reputation for going to the ends of the earth to make our customers successful. As a team, we stand for raising the bar: in every domain.
We manufacture ocean sensing solutions – sensors, instrumentation, and deployment systems – for business and government customers on all seven continents. We enable our customers to focus on the oceanography, not the equipment. As a hi-tech business, our technical team includes experts and engineers with experience in the acoustic, mechanical, electrical, software, and embedded software domains. We operate from locations at either end of Canada: Halifax (Dartmouth), Nova Scotia on the Atlantic Coast and Victoria, British Columbia on the Pacific Coast. Learn more about us here.
It goes without saying that we give preference to qualified candidates who have already had exposure to the oceanographic or hydrographic industries. Similarly, we see a formal education in Oceanography, Hydrography, Environmental Science, or Engineering as a significant advantage.
One last requirement: at AML, we’re looking for individuals who are excited by the idea of coming to work to contribute. We expect each of our team members to dedicate their hands, head, AND heart to their position.
