Shipyard Staffing on the Mississippi Gulf Coast
Contract trades, engineers and inspectors for Gulf Coast shipbuilding.
Pascagoula is shipbuilding country — the largest yard in Mississippi and a supply chain of fabricators, machine shops and service firms along the coast from Gulfport to Mobile Bay. The work runs on hulls and milestones rather than calendar quarters, which is why so much of it is contract. Chipton-Ross has staffed marine and heavy-industrial programs since 1983, and this is consistently one of our deepest books of business.
