Dredging and Port Construction Jobs and Recruitment

WRS recruits experienced crews for dredging vessels and port and marine construction projects worldwide. We supply dredge masters, marine crew, pipeline operators, engineers and site teams for capital dredging, maintenance dredging, land reclamation and port infrastructure works.

 

What dredging jobs do we recruit for?

Dredging combines seamanship with heavy production engineering. We crew trailing suction hopper dredgers, cutter suction dredgers, backhoe and grab dredgers with the specialists they need: dredge masters and pipe operators, marine officers and engineers, surveyors, welders and mechanics. On the construction side, we place site managers, works supervisors, piling and marine civils crews for quay walls, breakwaters, terminals and reclamation projects.
