Marine Trade Jobs in Jacksonville, FL
Pipe welders, pipefitters, structural welders, and shipfitters — AMS has crews working here now.
Marine work in Jacksonville
Jacksonville is a major Navy and commercial ship-repair hub on the northeast Florida coast, anchored by BAE Systems' ship-repair yard and Naval Station Mayport. AMS has crews working the Jacksonville market now.
Jacksonville is one of AMS's four active-crew markets — crews are working here now, and the steady flow of Navy and commercial repair work keeps demand consistent rather than cyclical. Across the industry, GAO reported in 2025 that all seven Navy private shipbuilders face recruitment and retention problems, and repair markets draw from the same stretched labor pool — experienced hands have real leverage. AMS hires pipe welders, pipefitters, structural welders, and shipfitters here at $35–$40 an hour plus overtime, with travel and per-diem work common and a resume optional.
Public-record market activity, not AMS clients. Cost of living here runs about 2% below the national average — your paycheck goes further.
