Vacancy caducado!
Romanzof Fishing Co - F/V Baranof
Immediate Openings - Flights to Alaska 7/10/24
HIRING ASAP! The Barnaof is departing Seattle and will be in Dutch Harbor by Friday or Saturday, June 7th or 8th. If you're interested, please read the following carefully and visit our website to fill out an application.
Please note that you're responsible for getting to Seattle without our assistance. We don't provide airfare from your home city to Seattle however we will arrange for your travel from Seattle's Seatac Airport when you arrive in Seattle.
This job will be tough, and you'll have to work long, grueling 16-hour shifts with little breaks. Your body will ache for the first couple of weeks as you will be using muscles you aren’t used to, and the boat will move and rock while you work.
We recommend watching online videos about longlining and processing. Most vessels either fish or process, but the Baranof does both, allowing us to fish for longer.
To be considered for a position when applying, make sure you provide your last five years of employment and explain any gaps you may have in your employment, this includes any paid or unpaid work.
Positions open onboard Fishing Vessel Baranof must be able to get to Seattle and to the boat at their own expense.
