Sand Blaster Sea Jobs

A Sand Blaster is a specialized seafarer responsible for preparing metal surfaces on the vessel for painting and corrosion protection. Using abrasive blasting equipment, the Sand Blaster removes rust, old paint, and scale to ensure a clean surface that improves the durability of protective coatings. This role is essential on tankers, offshore vessels, and older ships where constant maintenance of steel surfaces is required to preserve structural integrity. Sand Blasters work closely with painters and maintenance teams, often in challenging conditions, to maintain the vessel’s safety and operational efficiency. The position requires physical stamina, attention to safety protocols, and familiarity with protective equipment.
