Integrated marine services: towing, shipyard, dredging, and naval construction
Ocean operates a diversified marine services portfolio spanning harbour towing, shipyard operations, ship repairs, naval construction, dredging, and equipment rental across Canada and the Caribbean. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward engineering and project delivery (SAP, AutoCAD, Solidworks, Civil 3D, FME, ArcGIS Pro) with no active migrations, reflecting a mature, operations-focused organization. The hiring mix—40 engineering, 26 ops, 17 construction—and active tooling projects (CAD/PLM integration, estimation tools, quality standards) signal internal focus on tightening project cost control and compliance, where pain points center on budget variance and schedule management.
Ocean Group is a privately held marine services provider founded in 1972, headquartered in Québec with 501–1,000 employees. The company delivers harbour towing, shipyard and ship repair, naval construction, equipment rental, floating wharves, barge and workboat rental, marine salvage, dredging, and marine transportation across Canada, Brazil, Jamaica, and France. The business model is project-centric and service-delivery-intensive, supported by a mid-heavy engineering and operations workforce. Current operational priorities include cost estimation accuracy, production scheduling, health and safety compliance, and quality assurance across construction and repair contracts.
Core tools: SAP (ERP/FI-CO/S/4HANA), AutoCAD, Solidworks, Civil 3D, Autodesk Vault (PLM), ArcGIS Pro, Power BI, Microsoft 365 suite, and FME for data workflows.
