Marine Trade Jobs in Orange, TX
Pipe welders, pipefitters, structural welders, and shipfitters — a market AMS recruits from.
Marine work in Orange
Orange sits on the Sabine River at the Texas-Louisiana line, with new-construction and repair yards building tugs, barges, and government vessels. It rounds out the East Texas triangle — Houston, Port Arthur, Orange — that AMS actively recruits welders and fitters from.
Orange stays a builder's market: Conrad's Sabine River yard turns out tugs, barges, and government vessels, keeping new-construction skills alive at the east end of the Golden Triangle. New-build experience — layout, fit-up, code welding, full-system outfitting — is exactly the profile Gulf contractors are shortest on, and it's why AMS recruits all four of its crafts from the Orange market. Pay runs $35–$40/hr plus overtime, travel and per-diem work is common, and a résumé is optional — qualifications and hood time carry the application.
Public-record market activity, not AMS clients. Cost of living here runs about 9% below the national average — your paycheck goes further.
