Deckhand

Prince William Sound Seiner:

One of my deckhands had some life things come up, so need to replace him by June 19th.

Hard working, proven catch record vessel. Mechanically sound, comfortable, well maintained 48 foot Roberts. Returning crew is a skiff man with 10+ years of experience, extremely skilled deckhand.

We're looking for an individual who is looking to be part of a well oiled team. Fishing experience is a plus, but I value work ethic, attitude, and a willingness to try their best every day over a poor work ethic, experienced deckhand. Looking for someone to slot into a group of guys that are ready to go to battle together, but also want to enjoy the experience and have fun with the process. Pay is experience/attitude dependent. If you haven't had time on the water, you need to have manual labor experience and are ideally mechanically inclined. Time spent in remote camps is a plus, ideally you have spent time in outdoor environments and have some understanding of problem solving with limited resources. Good people skills is a must. This job involves living in tight quarters with three others, you need to be able to put the success and cohesiveness of the boat above your own feelings if a conflict situation arises. Looking for an athletic, competitive, driven individual who ideally loves the outdoors and is easy to get along with.
