Trade Team
Trade Team has unmatched expertise in finding skilled laborers and tradesmen for the marine and industrial field. Trade Team came out of a rich industrial tradition of excellence that was established in 1875. Though founded in 2004, Trade Team comes from a rich industrial tradition dating back to 1875 when Charles J. Colonna first started a marine repair company in Virginia.

That company would later be known as Colonna's Shipyard, the oldest continuous family owned and operated private shipyard in the United States. Started by Willoughby Warren Colonna, Jr., the current owner of Colonna's Shipyard, Trade Team was originally setup to provide temporary skilled labor to the Colonna yard and other local Virginia marine businesses.
Services
Trade Team specializes in staffing positions for general laborers, skilled tradesmen, and professional and management personnel in the Marine, Heavy Industrial, Manufacturing, and Light Industrial industries. Whether you are interested in direct hire, temp-to-perm, or just temporary staffing, we are here to help.
That is probably the core value that most transcends our organization. While we employ hundreds of people and work with dozens of customers, we don't want to lose a small business or family feel. We want to know people by their names and know more about them than just their job. We want relationships.
Below is a partial list of the positions that we are actively hiring for.

Come to Jesus those of you who are heavy laden. He is even willing to extinguish your personal fires for you, including the lack of meaningful work. This place has friendly faces, but God makes everything and everyone better. Don't accept this as a God endorsement, instead, on the way to finding him, do something with your life! I came and job placement was quick. Come to Jesus to do kingdom work. God makes you real and your love true!!

Been working for this company for almost a year now. People are great. If you need a good job this is a place to go specially for fire watch for the shipyard.. Receptionist and recruiters are great people so check them out.plus they pay them most on this side of the water for labor/firewatch.

Complete Disfunction. Trust me, this is bottom of the barrel. They will tell you whatever you want to hear, and before you know it, it's too late before you realize that you've been screwed. When push comes to shove and the heat gets put on them, they act like complete cowards. I've been in this for a while. If you want to be jipped out of money, and get constant run around then by all means, this is the place to go. I'm sure such an outstanding place wouldn't have to go to great lengths to installing magnetic security doors, because they have done so many people wrong. Its all a show and you're

I wish I could not give this place any stars!! OMG...Horrible, met with a guy named Brian, the place is a whole in the wall! The receptionist had an attitude.The chairs in the waiting room were filthy! I didn't even want to sit down. I felt out of place since I was dressed professionally and everyone else had jeans and t-shirts on!It looks like most people that apply to jobs through them are dirty, have criminal records and/or substance abuse issues.
I went in for an interview, all the guy did was talk about my resume (which we already did over the phone). No paperwork done (unlike most agencies
