Deck work aboard a Coastal Villages freezer longliner fishing off Alaska, hired on a seasonal crew contract. The deckhand assists the bosun in bringing fish aboard safely, inspects and repairs longline gear, operates hoisting equipment, keeps deck machinery and supplies in order, and takes part in safety drills and training. The posting sets a minimum of two years as a deckhand on a commercial fishing vessel and requires a current crane operator’s certificate; a USCG AB licence is strongly desired. Applicants are told to expect long absences from home and cramped living conditions aboard. No wage or crew share figure is published, though the listing notes 401k and health benefits on eligibility.
