Oceaneering states approximately 11,100 employees at December 31, 2025, 35% in the United States, across subsea robotics, offshore projects, manufactured products, aerospace and defense and integrity management segments with no count by segment, so the offshore services take the revenue shares of three segments and the plants and the engineering services the rest (c).
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading

By the patterns, the work is about 35% desk work, 13% people work and 52% body work.

By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 58% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 32% becomes checking a model's work and 6% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

| Machinery Manufacturing (3331, 3332, 3334, and 3339 only) | 20% | The Manufactured Products segment, umbilicals, connectors and mobility systems, is 20% of revenue with no employee count, so it takes that share by revenue at the machinery group (c). |
| Architectural, Engineering, and Related Services | 17% | The Aerospace and Defense Technologies segment, engineering and services for the Navy and space programs, is 17% of revenue with no employee count, so it takes that share by revenue at engineering services (c). |

- An estimated 17% now and 33% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Oceaneering International, Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does Oceaneering International, Inc. employ?
- 11,100 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states. About 35% in the U.S.
- What kinds of work make up Oceaneering International, Inc.'s workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 3 industry staffing patterns, the largest Support Activities for Mining; by those patterns the work is about 35% desk work, 13% people work and 52% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Oceaneering International, Inc.'s annual report say about AI?
- 4 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 4 and 4 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
