Team Services, a family-owned provider of marine, facility, and offshore operational services, announced a series of leadership hires and promotions capping a year of strong growth — including the appointment of Sean Ragains as Director of Marine Operations, the promotions of Rob Clayton to Director of Business Development and Richard Schwing to Director of Facility Operations, and new leadership across the company’s Corpus Christi facility and logistics teams.
“We’re growing because our people make it possible,” said Brian Richard, Owner and Chief Financial Officer. “These promotions reflect what we’ve always believed — that the best way to grow is to invest in the people who already embody who we are.”
Sean Ragains Joins as Director of Marine Operations
Sean Ragains has joined Team Services as Director of Marine Operations, bringing extensive experience across shipyard, carrier, and liquid operations. Ragains previously worked on the customer side of the industry, where he evaluated and selected Team Services as a trusted third-party tankerman provider — a relationship that ultimately led him to join the company.
“Our job is to make our customers’ jobs easier, not harder,” Ragains said. “That’s the standard I want us to keep raising.”
Rob Clayton Promoted to Director of Business Development
Rob Clayton has been promoted to Director of Business Development, taking on leadership of the company’s facility services segment after joining Team Services two years ago to help expand the company’s revenue beyond its traditional channels. Under Clayton’s direction, Team Services has grown its facility work significantly this year, adding three new customers and setting the segment on pace to double its manpower hours.
“I want our customers to have real confidence and peace of mind knowing their operations are in good hands,” Clayton said. “That’s what we’re building toward with every site we take on.”
Richard Schwing Promoted to Director of Facility Operations
Richard Schwing has been promoted to Director of Facility Operations, having previously served as Manager of Operations for South Texas. The promotion reflects Team Services’ continued investment in its facility services division, a key growth area for the company as it expands relationships with terminal and plant operators along the Gulf Coast.
Stefan Gibbs Promoted to Operations Supervisor
Stefan Gibbs has been promoted to Operations Supervisor, where he will support the company’s Triangle Tankerman group in delivering consistent, high-quality service to customers. Gibbs joined Team Services in March 2018 and has held his Merchant Mariner Credential for 11 years, bringing deep hands-on experience to the role. His promotion further strengthens the company’s operations leadership as Team Services continues to grow.
Josh Culberth Promoted to Facility Supervisor
Josh Culberth has been promoted to Facility Supervisor in Corpus Christi, advancing from his previous role as Dock Operator. The promotion reinforces Team Services’ commitment to building facility leadership from within, supporting the company’s growing presence in South Texas.
Blake Constant Joins as Human Resources Generalist
Blake Constant has joined Team Services as Human Resources Generalist, bringing extensive experience in end-to-end talent management and organizational operations. Most recently, she served as General Manager for Express Employment Professionals of Baton Rouge, where she led full-service staffing operations, managed workforce compliance, and oversaw recruiting and onboarding across a wide range of roles. Constant holds a Master of Arts in Psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from LSU, an academic background that informs her analytical approach to supporting teams and organizational success.
Logistics Team Leadership Promotions
Team Services also announced two promotions within its logistics group: Tonya Lambert has been promoted to Logistics Team Lead, advancing from Logistics Coordinator, and Bryan Wright has been promoted to Logistics Coordinator, advancing from Logistics Assistant. Emili Harris, promoted to Logistics Team Lead from Logistics Coordinator in June 2025, continues to lead alongside Lambert. These moves reflect the growing strength and depth of the company’s logistics operations, including an increasing number of women stepping into leadership roles across the team. As a woman-owned business, Team Services is proud to see that representation carried through its own ranks and continues to support organizations like Women in Maritime Operations (WIMOs) that champion women building careers across the maritime industry.
A Year of Stability and Growth
The round of promotions comes during a year of continued growth for Team Services, which has focused on strengthening its marine operations, expanding its facility services division, and building long-term client partnerships across the Gulf Coast — from Brownsville to Mobile. The promotions also come as Team Services prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2027, marking two decades since founder Jim Fletcher started the company and a second-generation, family-owned legacy built on lasting partnerships.
“Partnership to us means two entities invested in a common goal,” Ragains said. “Our growth isn’t about being the biggest — it’s about being the best and making sure our clients feel that in every part of the operation.”
