Shipyard Staffing

Shipyard Staffing, operating as NSC (National Staffing Corporation), is a specialized workforce partner that has served critical industries for more than 25 years. The company focuses on providing skilled tradespeople and traveling craftsmen to industries where uptime, safety, and execution cannot be compromised. Built around a safety-led operating model and disciplined recruiting engine, NSC maintains a ready-to-work, pre-vetted talent database of more than one million skilled and semi-skilled workers.

NSC operates as a comprehensive workforce solutions provider specializing in industries where safety, precision, and performance are paramount. The company serves light industrial, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure & defense, and marine construction sectors through a unique approach that combines sourcing with internal workforce development. Unlike traditional staffing firms, NSC develops its own labor pipeline through a dedicated training and certification campus in Salinas, Puerto Rico, where they actively train, evaluate, and deploy new entrants and upskilling candidates into high-demand industrial roles.

The company's safety-led operating model ensures all candidates are screened for technical competence, reliability, and readiness for work in regulated and high-stakes environments. Every worker is evaluated for trade proficiency, verified experience, safety compliance, and deployment readiness. This rigorous vetting process enables rapid mobilization without sacrificing compliance or workforce quality, providing clients with predictable supply, safe execution, and reduced risk to schedule and cost.

NSC's service portfolio extends beyond traditional staffing to include comprehensive workforce management solutions. They offer managed service provider (MSP) services, payroll processing, workforce management, and trade skill development programs. This holistic approach allows them to offload contingent workforce management while ensuring compliance, controlling costs, and maximizing value for their clients.

What distinguishes NSC is their relationship-driven approach, viewing candidates as partners rather than transactions. They take time to understand workers' skills, goals, and clearance levels to align them with opportunities that foster long-term career growth. The company provides competitive wages, benefits, and consistent deployment opportunities, building stable, mission-ready teams that keep vital infrastructure running securely and efficiently.

With national reach and a proven record of performance on complex, schedule-sensitive work, NSC has established itself as America's Maritime Staffing Experts while expanding their expertise across multiple industrial sectors. Their commitment to safety is exemplified through the NSC Safe Program, where safety is the responsibility of everyone, and they conduct safety walks to identify and resolve hazards proactively.
