More Than a Temp Agency for Skilled Trades

A Legacy of Excellence in Marine Staffing

Hutco, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Jimmy Hutchison, better known as “Hutch.” He believed in real working relationships with his customers – and so do his sons, Jim and Scott, who continue in the tradition of developing new relationships and fostering the old.

Jim and Scott rely heavily on their experienced office staff, many of whom have been with Hutco from the start. The success of our business is directly related to the hard work and dedication of these individuals.

Relationships are central to everything we do at Hutco. When you partner with us for workforce solutions or your next career move, you’re gaining a true partner.
