National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration careers

NOAA splits its work across six line offices: the National Weather Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the National Ocean Service, the satellite and data service NESDIS, the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, and the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, which runs the agency's ships and aircraft. NOAA's own description covers the span honestly, from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor, keeping the public informed about a changing environment. Headquarters sits on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., and one hiring note comes straight from the agency: it employs civilian professional mariners to help operate its fleet of research and survey ships.
