Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, oceanography, marine biology, and chemistry to develop solutions that mitigate or prevent environmental problems related to the marine energy industry.

Metal and plastic machine workers set up and/or operate equipment to cut, shape, and form precision metal and plastic parts.

Assemblers and fabricators assemble both finished products and the parts that go into them. They use tools, machines, and their hands to make generators, computers, electronic devices, turbines, and other parts.

Physical oceanographers study ocean physics, such as the movement of seawater and sediment, interactions between oceans and coastlines, interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, and many other ocean processes.

Vocational instructors instruct students in high schools as well as postsecondary schools and programs, such as community colleges, technical schools, maritime academies, and apprenticeships.

Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, hydrology, biology, and chemistry to mitigate or develop solutions to environmental problems related to the hydropower industry.

Deckhands operate and maintain the vessel equipment, keeping the vessel in good operating condition. Ship engineers oversee marine oilers and maintain propulsion engines, boilers, generators, pumps, and more. Marine oilers assist ship engineers.

Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems in homes, businesses, and factories.

Cybersecurity specialists protect marine energy companies and systems from cybersecurity threats by planning and implementing measures to protect computer networks and systems.

Engineering technicians work with engineers to plan, design, evaluate, and improve the performance of marine energy equipment, processes, and facilities.
