Marine Maintenance/Deckhand/Food Service

Bellingham WA

Description

We are San Juan Cruises, a tour boat/dining service in Fairhaven. We operate on a season of April-October, and own four boats that we do tours on. Right now we are looking to hire someone to fill a marine maintenance role that will be a full time position. Because we have four boats, there is a lot of work to do this winter, one of our boats is brand new and is going to be needing an entire new interior cabin set up and galley. This job will be a role filled with painting, sanding, minor construction, cleaning out bilges, general upkeep of boats and our warehouse. During this time of year, it will be a job that is Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30 with a half hour lunch. You will be working with two of our captains closely who will also be doing the maintenance throughout this off-season time. In April the job will transition completely. People hired will work on our vessels which run a variety of cruises in Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands and also La Connor. We operate whale watching tours, trips to Friday Harbor, Cracked Crab cruises (we do a lot of these), and Beer and Wine tasting cruises. This position is full of a broad list of duties that include food service/bar service, table service, cleaning and window washing, following recipes and cooking meals as well as prep cook work, line handling/general deckhand operations, interacting with passengers and more. During the season you must be able to work weekends and holidays. Sometimes the days are quite long and will be hard work. Nearly all of our cruises include food and beverage service, so customer service and/or restaurant experience is a huge plus but not required. We'll teach you all about working on a boat too. This position will include bar service, so this is a 21+ position and you should be comfortable serving alcohol. Because we are operating a vessel on the ocean this position is regulated by the US Coast Guard so passing a drug test is mandatory to work here, within the grace period. To apply, come pick up an application and bring a resume to our office at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal in Fairhaven. The office is open 8am - 4:30pm every day. We prefer to have resumes brought in to the office, but if you need to email it you can do that as well.
