Able-Bodied Seamen & Deckhands
Coastal Transportation Inc. is hiring for A.B. seamen, deckhands, and wipers for boats carrying cargo from Seattle to western Alaska. Click here for full description of work and pay.
A.B.s, deckhands, and wipers all load cargo on and off the boats, act as lookout, and perform maintenance work such as painting and splicing rope. Wipers work in the engine room when the boat is traveling, and work in the cargo hold when in port.
Main duties of cargo operation are: operating lift trucks; slinging loads; working with lashing chain, chain binders, and dunnage; and sweeping and cleaning cargo holds. This is a fast-paced job, suitable for high-energy individuals.
Deckhands and wipers do not require documentation of any kind. A.B. seamen require USCG documentation. Candidates need to be able to pass a drug test. We are a sober company. Transportation to and from Seattle is paid for by the company.
