Jobs

Whitby Harbour Authority operates its own excavator dredger, the 44m Split Hopper Barge, Sandsend.

The vessel operates in the ports of Whitby and Scarborough and occasionally operates on contract to dredge other ports around the UK coast.

The Harbour Authority are looking for a Temporary Chief Mate to cover a long term absence from the vessel with potential to become a permanent position in the future.

The role will support the Dredging Master and act as Second in Command in maintaining the safe operation of the vessel and its associated equipment & operations.

What you can bring

We are seeking a qualified and enthusiastic individual with a relevant certificate of competency to act as Mate on a seagoing commercial vessel. 

Please highlight in your supporting evidence you have the supporting maritime qualifications necessary and an in date ENG1.

You will ideally have experience of marine operations on commercial/professional basis and possess a working knowledge of routine vessel and machinery maintenance. 

The vessel has no accommodation therefore the role is predominantly day time working (with flexibility required to suit tides) however the position may require the successful applicant to undertake periods of external contractual dredging works for which additional, generous payments will be made.  These periods of working away are planned far in advance, with no planned work outside of home ports in the near future.

Your standard working hours will be minimum 7.5 hours per day, with variable start and finish times to be performed around the tides. The earliest start time will be 04:00 am and the latest finish time will be 21:00 pm.

Dredging experience is desirable not wholly essential as full training will be provided.

The ability to operate an excavator is also desirable but again, not essential.

These include:

• a local government pension scheme
