LEAD Marine San Diego is proud to introduce David Leavitt, the branch’s new recruiter. David brings a natural recruiter’s mentality to the thriving California operation, focusing on finding the best and brightest in the skilled trades with an emphasis on the bigger picture.
The staffing industry stands at the mercy of wider forces in the economy that make flexibility, adaptability, and the capacity for making the most of the smallest opportunities essential for success in this demanding business. LEAD Marine Jacksonville draws on life lessons to help them be successful.
“We choose to focus on staffing a specific number of positions that we know inside and out, rather than over-promising with an across-the-board approach that often can’t live up to its promise,” said Alan Biliti, LEAD Marine San Diego’s Account Manager, “And this has allowed us to build relationships with client’s where when they come to us, they know they’re getting a worker who has been hired by LEAD with a specific intention in mind.”
From the moment new hire’s join LEAD Marine San Diego, they’re introduced to one of the most diligent risk management and safety cultures in the industry. LEAD Marine San Diego is a staffing partner that knows safety.
"There are plenty of jobs available for qualified workers with trade skills who are prime candidates for the maritime industry. Jobs are available for licensed marine engineers and skilled machinists, welders, electricians, and more," says Alan Biliti, Marine Division Sales and Recruiting Manager.
Skilled trade jobs in the marine industry are in high demand throughout the U.S. Alan Biliti, Marine Division Sales and Recruiting Manager for LEAD Marine, a nationwide staffing company says, “We place employees in trade positions like electricians, pipe and structure welders, riggers, ship mechanics, and more.”
Over 90% of maritime industry employers believe the skills gap will adversely affect their business in the future, according to Work The Waterfront (workthewaterfront.com), a recent partnership established to help companies promote U.S. maritime careers.
Working in a shipyard, or on a vessel, involves welding, steel cutting, machinery maintenance and repair, plumbing, electrical work, rigging, and clean-up of chemicals and fuel – to name a few. Many of these activities can be considered at high risk of injury or illness, therefore, require workers who understand maritime safety protocol.
