Team Rubicon has a tagline: Disasters are our business. Veterans are our passion.
Team Rubicon is quickly deploying four rescue swimmers to Greece to conduct lifesaving operations for 15 or 22 days starting on approximately February 12th.
Due to the high-risk nature of the deployment, applicants must have completed Module 1 and the Team Rubicon background check, documented and paid experience as a rescue swimmer in an open water environment, and experience working on large ships as part of the crew during daily activities.
Veterans will be ship-based for the duration of the deployment.
