Victoria, Canada AML Oceanographic Ltd. Full time

Do you love to compete? Are you hungry for achievement? Are you an ‘A’ player? Do you want to work with other ‘A’ players? For a company where culture is nurtured and managed as a critical source of advantage? Where every employee knows and cares about direction and strategy?

AML Oceanographic has clocked average annual growth of more than 20% over the past 8 years. How? Most importantly, we’ve built a team that provides outstanding service and truly cares about our customers. AML has a market reputation for two things:

- Going to the ends of the earth to make our customers successful, and
- Bringing fresh ideas to an established market

We manufacture ocean sensing solutions - sensors, instrumentation, and deployment systems - for business and government customers on all seven continents. As a hi-tech business, our technical team includes experts and engineers with experience in the acoustic, mechanical, electrical, software, and embedded software domains. We operate from locations at either end of Canada: Halifax (Dartmouth) on the Atlantic Coast, and Victoria on the Pacific Coast.

At AML, we do things a bit differently. Think daily huddles. Think Rockefeller Habits, Scaling Up, and the One Page Plan. Think town hall meetings with on-the-fly question & answer sessions. If you are familiar with these concepts - or they interest you - then you might be a fit for AML.
