Careers at STAX: Local Jobs, Lasting Impact

Every day, STAX employees help reduce air pollution in and around California’s ports—supporting cleaner air for the people who live and work nearby while helping the maritime industry meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements.

As a homegrown California company expanding across Northern California, we’re creating high-quality local jobs for people who want to solve meaningful problems, take pride in their work, and help build what comes next.

Work With a Purpose You Can See

When a vessel connects to STAX technology, our team gets to see its impact firsthand. The work happening aboard our barges and across our engineering, maintenance, regulatory, and business teams directly supports cleaner port operations and healthier surrounding communities.

That shared purpose connects every role at STAX. Whether you’re operating equipment, maintaining a system, developing new technology, or helping bring our services to another port, your work contributes to a measurable result.

Build a Stable, Rewarding Career

At STAX, our mission is to improve air quality for local communities while creating steady, competitive careers.

About 90% of employees working on our barges are union members, reflecting our commitment to fair compensation, safe working conditions, greater job security, and strong employee representation.

We’re also dedicated to creating more opportunities in an industry where women have historically been underrepresented. The representation of women in maritime roles at STAX is more than 11 times the global industry average, and we’re striving to increase it even further.

For us, building a strong workforce means creating opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds and ensuring our team reflects the communities we serve.

Why Build Your Career at STAX?

STAX is built on a culture of safety, integrity, collaboration, and respect. How the work gets done matters as much to us as what gets done.

Ideas are heard regardless of title and contributions don’t go unnoticed. Innovation isn’t reserved for one department; it comes from every part of the organization, from the barge crews to our engineering team.

As STAX continues to grow,, so do the opportunities for employees to grow with us. We offer clear paths for advancement, providing team members the chance to take on new responsibilities, develop leadership skills, and build a long-term career that rewards ambition.

We also offer competitive compensation that recognizes skills, experience, and impact, backed by a robust benefits package. For eligible employees, STAX pays 100% of employee medical, dental, and vision premiums, providing comprehensive coverage with no employee contribution.

As new emissions requirements drive demand for solutions that reduce pollution while keeping ports moving, we’re growing our Northern California team.

We’re looking for individuals across a range of roles—from operators and maintenance technicians to engineers, regulatory professionals, and business teams—to support this next stage of growth.
