Deckhand

Deckhands are the cornerstone of all the work we do at Brennan Marine Inc, and the demand for our work is growing. Our deckhands are vital to the operation and maintenance of Brennan's tugboats. We’re looking for an entry-level deckhand to join our skilled boat crew.

As a deckhand at Brennan, you are a key member of our organization. You keep product moving and safeguard important commodities as they travel hundreds of miles to get product to its destination. You are an essential worker at Brennan and in the US economy.

As a member of the Brennan crew, you’ll report to the mate/pilot and assist in the switching and fleeting of barges as we provide efficient and safe work to our customers. Deckhands work with a small team to complete the important task of ensuring products are transported to their destination safely. Deckhands perform a variety of tasks including:

• Inspecting barges for damage and leaks, which at times requires climbing into confined spaces
• Using lines, wires, ratchets, and stationary winches to build and break tow in all weather conditions
• Operating tools and equipment like ratchets, shackles, chain straps, and wires/cables
• Completing daily and periodic maintenance tasks such as cleaning, painting, chipping, transferring rigging, and vessel maintenance
• Reporting vessel condition information to the mate or pilot, especially any hazardous or unsafe condition of the boat, tow, or any associated equipment, and taking action to prevent injuries or accidents

Brennan deckhands are hard workers and enjoy working outdoors on the water. Rain or shine, our clients and their end customers need your help getting commodities and products delivered.
