About Marine Service Group: Marine Service Group is a marine service, repair, welding, and fabrication company serving commercial and recreational marine customers along the Gulf Coast. Under the same ownership as a large boat club and pontoon rental operation with more than 100 boats across 8 locations, we perform work both for our affiliated companies and for a growing base of third-party marine businesses.
Our welding division, Emerald Coast Welding & Fabrication, is a key area of future growth for the company. With more than 22 years of success in the marine industry, we are seeking an additional welder to help expand our welding and fabrication capabilities. This is an incredible opportunity for someone who enjoys welding, working with their hands, and being around boats while building a long-term career with a growing company.
