Portland Port seeking casual deck crew for marine department

Minimum requirements:

• Valid ML5 or ENG1 medical certificate
• Personal Survival Techniques (STCW) or RYA Basic Sea Survival

Relevant qualifications are required for all crew roles. However, training will be provided for suitable candidates, particularly those demonstrating the right attitude and willingness to learn.

Experience in towage or pilotage support operations would be advantageous, but is not essential.
