Employment — Opportunities with VessEx


VessEx is always seeking talented, dedicated and hard-working people to join our extraction and protection teams.  VessEx maintains a roster of highly qualified individuals from which to draw for specific assignments. The roster includes mariners ranging from masters to ABs for maritime recoveries, aviators ranging from multi-engine-rated pilots to airline captains for aircraft recoveries, and former Special Forces personnel for ship protection operations.  While most VessEx teammembers have served with or are otherwise personally known to VessEx management, VessEx will consider retaining other exceptionally qualified people on a case-by-case basis.  If you meet our high standards and are interested in working for a highly professional organization, traveling to exotic locations and participating in challenging assignments, VessEx may be right for you.
