Job description

The captain is a USCG licensed officer who serves as the backup to the vessel captain. Captains must be able to safely navigate the vessel, supervise the handling of gear, maintain safe practices, and work with the Bristol Wave operations team to continually refine and improve the business plan.

Working in the Bering Sea:

Working at sea is physically and mentally challenging and requires long hours in remote locations, often several days’ travel from the nearest port. Our deck and processing crews work 16-hour shifts, 7 days a week. Most trips average 4-5 weeks in duration, but depending on the fishing season, catch rates, weather, vessel size and other factors, trips can be as short as 10-12 days or as long as 60+ days. Crew members generally work multiple trips (2 months or longer) in a single rotation.

Compensation, Travel & Expenses:

Payroll is crew share percentage. Crew share calculations are based on the net adjusted sales. Net sales are calculated by accounting for certain operating costs such as bait, fuel, observer expenses, etc. 40% of net sales go to the officers and crew. 

All travel for officers is arranged and paid for by the company, including flights, hotels, and meals while traveling. 

Requirements

· USCG Licensing required: 500 GT near coastal uninspected fishing master's license (or greater).

· Ability to navigate effectively and familiarity with all related regulations.

· Ability to supervise handling of all gear.

· Ability to maintain safe practices aboard the ship and conduct safety drills.

· Drill Instructor certification required.

· HACCP certification required.

· Proper allocation of crew shares based on performance.

· Maintaining of discipline in accordance with company policy.

· Administering of required random and post-accident drug screenings – specimen collector certification required.

· Proper handling of paperwork and communications with central office.

· Willingness to work with operations and human resources management to constantly refine and improve the business plan.

· Must pass pre-employment drug screening (commercial fishing falls under federal authority; we cannot hire anyone who tests positive for THC).

· Pre-employment background check required (past convictions will not necessarily prevent employment).

· Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. BWS participates in eVerify.

Benefits

Vessel officers are eligible for healthcare benefits, subsidized by the company at 75% for both employees and dependents, including medical coverage, dental coverage, vision coverage, voluntary life insurance, and a Health Savings Account (HSA) with a discretionary company contribution. Vessel officers are eligible to enroll on the first day of the month after a one-month waiting period.
