Most trips average 4-5 weeks in duration, but depending on the fishing season, catch rates, weather, vessel size and other factors, trips can be as short as 10-12 days or as long as 60+ days.

Processors are responsible for sorting, heading, bleeding, cutting, and packaging all fish products. Processed fish is sorted by size, frozen in pans, removed from the pans and packaged in frozen blocks using either fiber bags or boxes. Frozen cases are labeled and stacked in the freezer hold. Processors are also responsible for backloading bait and other supplies at the beginning of the trip and offloading frozen fish products at trip end. Working conditions aboard the vessel can be wet and cold.Essential Duties:· Sort fish by size and species.· Clean and bleed fish.· Remove heads and collarbones.· Freeze sorted fish in pans.· Load and unload product and other supplies.Working in the Bering Sea:Working at sea is physically and mentally challenging and requires long hours in remote locations, often several days’ travel from the nearest port.

Most trips average 4-5 weeks in duration, but depending on the fishing season, catch rates, weather, vessel size and other factors, trips can be as short as 10-12 days or as long as 60+ days. Crew members generally work multiple trips (2 months or longer) in a single rotation.The Hiring Process:· If you are selected for an interview, a member of the BWS HR team will reach out to set up an initial screening. This will be a brief phone or video call and may also include an automated survey about your past work experience. · If you are selected for a second interview, a member of the HR team will arrange a phone interview with the hiring manager. Applicants approved by the hiring manager will receive a conditional offer of employment. · All offers are conditional based on the results of a pre-employment drug screening (including screening for THC), pre-employment background check, and verification that you are authorized to work in the US (eVerify). · Once you are through the screening process, we will add your name to the “ready list,” and the HR Team will reach out when a position becomes available.Compensation:Processors are paid by crew share percentage. New hires generally receive a “half share” and can earn up to a “full share” depending on experience. Crew shares are assigned by the captain based on skill level, attitude, and performance. At the end of each trip, 40% of the sales value of the product is divided among the crew based on each crew member’s share. Payroll is processed on a trip-by-trip basis. Within 21 days of offload, you will receive a check or direct deposit for 100% of your trip earnings.Compensation varies based on the sales price of the product and operating expenses.
