Find a Career at AML Oceanographic

At AML, we’re always on the hunt for passionate team players who want to make a difference. AMLers commit their hands, their heads, and their hearts to their position. There are no sidelines. This is not corporate marketing: Glassdoor ratings score AML at 4.70 on 5.00. Our eNPS numbers are extremely impressive, with a +62 response to the question: “Do you enjoy working at AML?”

Why should you consider AML? AMLers cite five main reasons as to why they choose AML. First and foremost, organizational culture is our source of competitive advantage; it is carefully managed and nurtured. The AML way emphasizes employee-to-employee connection, peer-to-peer accountability, total transparency and absolute care. All AMLers know what is expected of them. Unlike many other organizations, at AML, the leadership team practices what they preach. 

The second reason why people join AML is to be surrounded by like-minded colleagues: dynamic, achievement-oriented professionals who want to win as a team.  All AMLers are guided by the belief that change is healthy, challenge is exciting, and stretch is rewarding.  The team takes priority over the individual.

Our growth trajectory is the third reason you should consider AML.  Over the past 10 years, we have grown by 17% per year, compounded annually.  Simply put, we’ve quadrupled in size in 10 years and believe AML is now poised to accelerate! What does that mean? There is opportunity everywhere you look. If you like growth and change, AML is an environment in which you will thrive. 

 

Reason four: transparency. All employees know the score at every level of AML: individual, departmental, and company-wide.  Details - financial, strategic, operational, cultural - are shared freely, based on the belief that the only way to combat blindspots - particularly those of the leadership team - is to share the full picture.  Disclosure makes us better.

Workplace flexibility is the final reason you will appreciate AML.  As we only employ team players who are hungry for growth and challenge - AMLers operate with unprecedented freedom and flexibility. We focus on outcomes and reward on achievement. We don’t micromanage the process, or the time, or the location.

You’ll see these five elements at play in the morning huddle that all employees attend to kick off their day.  We share good news - personal and professional - with colleagues; we check in on company results; we identify, discuss and resolve key issues.  Finally, every AMLer updates their critical number, the metric that captures the key contribution from each person’s role.  

Interested? Then you’ll want to know more about what we do. AML designs and manufactures ocean-sensing solutions – sensors, instrumentation, and deployment systems – for customers on all seven continents. We have a market reputation for going to the ends of the earth to make our customers successful - enabling them to focus on the oceanography, not the equipment. 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: the Halifax area on the Atlantic Coast and the Victoria area on the Pacific Coast. Learn more about us here.
