Engineering Jobs in Dunnellon Florida

Job Overview

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.

What You Do

Diving & Underwater Operations

• Perform underwater work in support of dredging, restoration, and marine construction projects
• Operate in low-visibility, high-sediment environments
• Assist with:
• Dredging operations and material movement
• Installation and removal of underwater equipment
• Inspection of underwater conditions, structures, and work areas
• Follow dive plans, safety protocols, and communication procedures at all times
• Maintain awareness of surroundings, hazards, and changing conditions

Dredging & Field Support

• Support dredging crews with underwater execution and troubleshooting
• Assist topside teams with setup, breakdown, and equipment movement
• Contribute to keeping projects on track by completing work efficiently and safely
• Adapt to changing site conditions, timelines, and priorities

Safety & Dive Readiness

• Follow all dive safety standards, including pre-dive checks, buddy protocols, and emergency procedures
• Inspect and maintain dive gear and equipment
• Participate in safety briefings and post-dive debriefs
• Flag risks early — underwater and topside
• Maintain required certifications and dive logs

Equipment & Maintenance

• Assist with care, inspection, and basic maintenance of:
• Dive gear and air systems
• Dredging equipment and hoses
• Boats and support equipment
• Ensure equipment is properly cleaned, stored, and ready for use
• Communicate equipment issues clearly and quickly

Culture & Team Contribution

• Work closely with crews to support overall project success
• Communicate clearly and directly — especially in high-risk or time-sensitive situations
• Bring a team-first mindset to physically demanding work
• Support a culture of safety, accountability, and reliability in the field

Who You Are

• Certified Diver – You hold a commercial, scientific, or equivalent diving certification and are comfortable working in non-ideal conditions (low visibility, confined spaces, varying currents)
• Comfortable with Real Work – You understand this is not recreational diving — it’s physical, hands-on work tied to dredging and restoration
• Safety-Focused – You treat dive safety as non-negotiable and follow protocols consistently
• Calm Under Pressure – You stay focused and steady in challenging underwater environments
• Physically Capable – You can handle the demands of diving, lifting, working in water, and long field days
• Team-Oriented – You work well with crews and understand your role in the bigger operation
• Adaptable – You adjust to changing field conditions, schedules, and project needs
• Digitally Aware – You’re comfortable logging dive activity, tracking certifications, and using mobile tools as needed
• Aligned with the S&S Way – You lead with humility, grit, and reliability — doing the work without needing recognition

Physical Demands & Work Environment

This is a field-based role requiring regular work in and around water, including active dive operations. The position involves:

• Working in water for extended periods in varying conditions
• Diving in low-visibility, sediment-heavy environments
• Lifting and carrying equipment up to 50+ lbs
• Climbing in and out of boats and watercraft
• Working outdoors in heat, humidity, rain, and uneven terrain
• Long, physically demanding workdays based on project needs

This role requires maintaining dive certification, physical fitness for diving, and the ability to safely perform all required underwater tasks.

Sea & Shoreline is committed to providing reasonable accommodations in accordance with applicable laws to enable individuals to perform the essential functions of this position.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid Time Off (PTO), holidays, and disability insurance.
• Professional development and training opportunities.

At Sea & Shoreline, we value the contributions of every team member and are dedicated to supporting your professional and personal growth.
