Job Requirements:
The nature of a fishing vessel requires that individuals take on multiple roles on the boat. Often however, those roles are not always clearly defined as is the case for a utility man/woman. This position requires someone who is a safe worker, physically active, in decent shape, strives to work hard, and has the ability to find what needs to be done and do it before he/she is asked. Previous boat/fishing experience is great, however equally important is the ability to learn quickly and work efficiently. Due to the dangerous nature of commercial fishing, safety takes the first priority of any job on a fishing boat. The ability to safely and efficiently work is necessary for one’s self and for the rest of the crew.

There is lots of hard work and long hours but it's all very rewarding if you like a good challenge. The payoff can be very rewarding both financially and provides a reward of accomplishing something very few people get to experience.
