Every NAVOCEANO employee contributes skills and expertise that are essential in providing military customers with superior oceanographic products and services.
As a NAVOCEANO employee, you may travel aboard a fleet of seven multipurpose oceanographic survey vessels, and see foreign ports around the world while collecting data to provide oceanographic products and services to the Department of Defense.
The Pathways program allows college students to gain on-the-job training. Experience gained is related to your academic field of study in areas such as oceanography, geophysics, physical science, mathematics, computer science and engineering.
