Processor for Longliner Catcher Processor

Unalaska AK

Description

F/V Baranof is looking for a few good factory workers to process. The Baranof is a 183ft old Coast Guard Buoy Tender from the 40's, the crew size is approx. 24 including cook and officers. It was converted years ago to a Longliner & Catcher Processor that fishes Pacific Cod, Black Cod (Sablefish) & Crab with pots. We are looking for crew to fly up Saturday, September 10th. Your point of hire is either Seattle or Anchorage, you will need to get there at your own expense and we will arrange the rest of the airfare. Each crew member has to have a mandatory Covid Vaccination along with getting a test within a few days of flying that is negative. We have not had Covid on the boat and don't want to get it. The contract is for 3 trips which is an estimated 3 months (not exact timeline). The vessel comes into Dutch Harbor after each trip to offload and resupply, each trip is approx. 3-4 weeks depending on a lot of factors which most of, we have no control over, a trip can last longer, up to 5 weeks but that is rare and does not happen that often, that is fishing! Currently our website is under construction, if you would like to apply for a position I have attached our application, which is 4 pages I can also send you the application if you send me your email address. Our apologies the process is cumbersome. You can either send the application back to me at my email address attached to this ad or fax it at 206. 545. 9536 if you are going to send it online, don't forget to save it first. Thank you for your interest in our company. Here is a bit of the lowdown so you have a better idea of what this job consists of… We are a Drug Free company. What does that mean? Per Coast Guard Regulations, you cannot have Federally Illegal Drugs in your system or possession of drugs on the boat even if you are currently not using them. You ask, what about Marijuana that is legal in Washington and Alaska, right. Yes and no. Marijuana is legal is several states now, but that is only on the state level not federal. DOT Drug Tests are federal. Per DOT Coast Guard regulations, you cannot have any federally illegal drugs in your system when you board the boat and sign your contract. This job consists of a multitude of tasks which can change from day to day as the fishing demands or the Captain of the vessel sees fit. Shifts are 16+ hours per day, seven (7) days a week. Advancement opportunities are also available. We value crew members who work hard, are excellent team players and are interested in a career in the seafood industry. However, you have to prove yourself to the crew and work hard. The work environment may be cold, wet, and noisy, and will require the employee to work repetitively with hands, wrists and elbows while standing. This will most likely be the toughest job you have ever had. All crewmembers are responsible for promoting and maintaining a safe working environment. Duties may include but are not limited to: 1. Heading, cutting and gutting fish. Cleaning and cooking crab. 2. Packing the cleaned seafood into pans and loading into freezers. 3. Packaging up product after 1st freezing process to be stored down in the ship's hold securely. 4. General clean-up of vessel and the vessel's warehouse in Dutch Harbor when deemed necessary by officers and factory foreman. 5. Offloading operations in town (usually Dutch Harbor, AK). This is typically done by transferring product off vessel by offload belts into shipping containers or by loading onto trampers at sea. 6. Back loading supplies. Processors will also be involved with the back loading of supplies in town such as bait, food, and fiber. If this is something you are still interested in and available for, please return the attached application via email or fax it. Your Point of Hire is either SEATTLE or ANCHORAGE, whichever is closest to you. It will be your responsibility to get to Seattle and to Seattle's Seatac airport 3 hours prior to your flight to Alaska. You will need to make your own arrangements to get to Seattle. Looking forward to hearing from you.
