Romanzof Fishing Co - F/V Baranof is currently hiring processors.
Immediate Openings - Flights to Alaska 7/10/24
Applicants should be aware that they are responsible for their own transportation to Seattle. While we do not cover airfare from your hometown to Seattle, we will facilitate your travel from Seattle's SeaTac Airport to the vessel in Alaska.
The job is demanding, requiring long, strenuous 16-hour shifts with minimal breaks. Initially, your body may experience discomfort as it adjusts to new physical demands, and you will need to work on a moving vessel.
We suggest viewing online videos about longlining and processing to prepare. Unlike other vessels that either fish or process, the Baranof does both, which extends our fishing duration.
When applying, please provide a comprehensive employment history of the last five years and clarify any employment gaps, including all work, whether paid or unpaid.
Candidates must be able to travel to Seattle at their own cost. To submit an application, please visit our website: [Baranof Courageous](https://baranofcourageous.com/).
