The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is seeking candidates for an Assistant Engineer (OICEW) aboard the state-of-the-art research vessel US Flag David Packard. As OICEW you will have a meaningful role in assisting in the operation and monitoring of the power plant, maintenance routines and safety strategies on the new vessel. The ship will be tasked with supporting 5-10 day multi-disciplinary science missions (longer trips are possible). In an average year, the vessel supports about 18-20 science missions per year. Operations consist primarily in supporting remote and autonomous vehicles including a 4000m work class ROV, AUVs and wave gliders. Moorings, CTDs and other science sampling operations are common.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is seeking candidates for an AB Engine/QMED Oiler (RFPEW) aboard the state-of-the-art US Flag research vessel David Packard. You'll work with crew members, scientists, and technical staff to build and maintain a collaborative and inclusive environment to achieve mission goals. As AB Engine/QMED Oiler (RFPEW) you will have a meaningful role in assisting in the operation and monitoring of the power plant, maintenance routines and safety strategies on the new vessel. This is a full-time position and does not offer a rotation. Leave is granted on an ad-hoc basis, and the position is backfilled from a relief pool.

MBARI hosts approximately 200 employees, with shore facilities that include state-of-the-art science and engineering laboratories, manufacturing and electrical fabrication shops, and dock facilities for MBARI vessels. MBARI is seeking an experienced, safety-focused Port Engineer to oversee the maintenance, repair, and readiness of a fleet of vessels to ensure technical goals and regulatory compliance are met. They act as the primary liaison between vessel crews and shore-side management for all technical matters. This is a full time, term position of 1 year with the possibility of extension.

The ASO Manager provides operational leadership as well as personnel management for the team, ensuring that MBARI's AUVs and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) operate reliably and effectively.

Key qualifications include experience in marine asset operations, with the ability to integrate multiple platforms and optimize logistics and services for different users, as well as proven competence in team and project management.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is seeking engineering candidates ranging from QMED-Oiler to OICEW for intermittent temporary work aboard R/V Rachel Carson and R/V David Packard. Operations primarily consist in supporting remote and autonomous vehicles, including a 4000m work class ROV, AUVs, and wave gliders. Moorings, CTDs and other science sampling operations are common. When switching between these activities, mobilization and reconfiguration of the vessel in port is required. Most vessel operations are completed in one day.
