Why Work With a Marine Staffing Company?
If you are considering working with a marine staffing agency such as Tradesmen® but aren’t sure about the benefits, we outline them below.
Focus On Your Core Workforce
By partnering with a marine construction staffing agency like Tradesmen, you can focus on your core, full-time workforce. We will assist in providing you with the various skilled workers you need to match your fluctuating workload. Our CORE + Flex labor staffing strategy alleviates common pain points of the businesses we work with. Staffing your projects shouldn’t steal time away from supporting your core workforce. With Tradesmen, you will get the right number of skilled tradespeople at the right time at the correct skill level on an as-needed basis.

Meeting deadlines is made possible by working with Tradesmen to gain access to proven craftworkers when and where you need them. We are the dependable source for proven trade professionals in the marine construction industry. Complete projects on time with the skilled labor you’ve been looking for and save time by eliminating the hiring process. Simply borrow shipyard-experienced skilled workers from Tradesmen for a contract period and return them when the project is complete.
Get Vetted Craft Professionals
Tradesmen does the prep work for you. We provide proven marine/shipyard craftworkers who have been stringently vetted with face-to-face or video interviews, reference checks, workforce hours verification, credential verification, and hands-on skill testing.

Mitigate Unemployment Expenditures
Reduce your SUTA rate by avoiding layoffs and terminations of full-time employees. Minimize or eliminate layoffs by working with Tradesmen® to supplement your core employees with ours. This CORE + Flex staffing strategy ensures you won’t be constantly hiring and letting workers go. When your workload slows, send our craftworkers back with no negative impact on your SUTA rate or unemployment taxes.
Minimize Workers’ Comp Risk and Costs
By keeping a lean workforce and supplementing it using a construction staffing service, you can minimize your business’s workers’ compensation exposure. Keep your permanent employee count minimal and use Tradesmen craft professionals to avoid paying additional premiums which, of course, are constantly on the rise. Our safety-minded skilled workforce is covered under our workers’ compensation insurance allowing you to utilize their skill sets without needing to cover them under your insurance.
Save Money On Healthcare Costs
Rising healthcare insurance costs have been a concern of business owners for years. By tapping into the network of skilled craftworkers with Tradesmen, you won’t have to worry about staying competitive and working with the best trades. Minimize profit losses related to healthcare coverage by working with fewer full-time employees and pulling in Tradesmen’s shipyard-experienced trade workers when needed.
Protect Your Business and Minimize Exposure To Non-Compliance
By working with a marine staffing or shipyard staffing agency, you protect your business from legal risk and the consequences of non-compliance. Labor laws are constantly changing and it is important to stay abreast of the current regulations.
