Staffing

Hire experienced small-boat operators, maritime SAR personnel, shorebased radio dispatchers, researchers, or entry-level RCC personnel — for temporary, full-time, part-time, seasonal cover, surge capacity, exercises, or specialist roles.

SoS provides operational staffing drawn from international maritime SAR experience across multiple aquatic rescue organisations. Personnel hold current right to work in the EU, US and AU, and are willing to relocate globally for staffing or temporary roles in first-response, operations, research and consulting.
