About AML

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.

This role will be based out of our office in Victoria, BC.

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.
