Full Job Description

Deck Hand – Water Crew

Wild Ocean Aquaculture, LLC

Company Mission:

To grow the finest seafood using only environmentally sustainable methods.

Purpose:

Join one of the most respected sustainable seafood teams in New England. At Bangs Island Mussels, we don’t just harvest; we innovate. We are looking for a hands-on team member who is as comfortable hauling mussel lines and tending oyster cages as they are helping maintain the rafts, boats, and gear that keep our farm running.

Why this isn’t your average maritime job:

Total stability – no seasonal layoffs. This is a year-round, Monday–Friday, “home every night” full-time career, 40 hours/week
100% Covered – we pay your health and dental premiums. This means $0 out of your paycheck
Growth opportunity – we’ve built this role for experienced, capable people who want a serious long-term career within our company or the broader aquaculture industry. Advancement opportunities exist for team members who bring real skill and initiative to the job.

Reports To:

The Deck Hand reports to the Vessel Operator (Captain).

Job Overview:

The Deck Hand is an integral part of our water crew, working as part of a team of 6-9 employees whose duties span whole farm production, maintenance, and operations. Most of the work will be done on the water, either from our work boats or on the mussel rafts themselves and oyster lines. The rest of the work will be on land at our wharf facility or net yard.

Bangs Island Mussels operates an IMTA (Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture) farm, meaning you will gain hands-on experience across up to three species – mussels, oysters, and kelp – in a single role. This is not an entry-level position: we are looking for candidates who bring real time on the water and hands-on mechanical or labor-intensive work experience with them, and who can pick up our specific systems and protocols quickly. What matters most is a proven track record of physically demanding, hands-on work and the judgment that comes with it.

Essential Responsibilities:

Mussel Harvest: Haul lines, pick mussels, and handle our main crop year-round. Get up close with blue mussels and learn the rhythms of a working aquaculture farm.
Mussel Seeding & Socking: Help attach small mussels to grow lines through shoveling, grading, and hands-on work on the rafts or boats.
Net Changes & Maintenance: Change out nets on our mussel rafts using power washers and net reels. Includes kneeling, tying, and hauling heavy nets.
Net Mending: Patch holes in nets and prepare them for redeployment – performed on land.
General Farm Maintenance: Perform repair and upkeep work on rafts, boats, engines, and facilities. Saltwater is tough on equipment, and we take prevention seriously.
Kelp Farming: Assist with kelp farming operations on long lines near the mussel rafts. Seasonal work concentrated in the fall and spring.
Systems Work: Help design, build, and troubleshoot farm systems such as conveyors, water plumbing, and chain-driven machinery. Hands-on mechanical experience is required.
Communication: Be proficient in interpersonal and communication skills and work collaboratively with the crew and Captain.
Equipment Repair & Light Fabrication: Assist with general equipment repair, fabrication tasks, and mussel processing as needed.
Kelp Farming: Assist with kelp farming operations on long lines near the mussel rafts. Seasonal work concentrated in the fall and spring.

Benefits:

Employees are eligible for benefits after 90 days.

Paid time off for 6 major holidays
Full (company sponsored) health and dental insurance coverage – zero deductions from your paycheck for insurance!
Year-round stability – no seasonal layoffs as this is a permanent, full-time career!
Sustainable mission – be a part of the finest and most environmentally sustainable seafood production in New England!
401K Retirement plan – automatic enrollment with the company matching 100% of the employee’s salary deferrals up to the first 4% of an employee’s eligible compensation.
Employer paid Maine Paid Family Medical Leave contributions – zero deductions from your paycheck towards Maine’s PFML
2 weeks of paid time off (PTO)
Company paid parking in Portland
Bi-annual gear allowance
Paid training and professional development opportunities

Qualifications and Requirements:

Work Ethic & Team Fit:

Positive attitude, dependable, and on time
Ability to work as a team in a tight environment
Committed to a long-term career on the water (1 year minimum, multi-year commitment strongly preferred)
Dedicated to personal and team safety
Ability to take direction and problem-solve independently when needed
Demonstrated experience in physically demanding, labor-intensive work required

Maritime Experience:

Prior experience working on the water required (commercial fishing, aquaculture, boating, or similar marine/maritime work)
Proven, hands-on mechanical experience — engine maintenance, equipment repair, fabrication, or similar hands-on technical work — required
Comfort working from workboats and on floating rafts

Physical Ability:

Ability to lift, push, and/or pull at least 50 pounds
Physical strength, balance, hand-eye coordination, and stamina to complete tasks on the water
Willingness to work in a range of weather conditions year-round

Skills:

Manual dexterity to operate a variety of equipment
Hands-on mechanical aptitude with tools, small engines, or equipment maintenance required
English language proficiency

Job Type and Salary:

Full-time, year-round, hourly position
Hourly range: $21-$24 per hour with opportunities to earn wage increases

Days and Hours:

Monday – Friday
Hours vary between 6:00am and 2:00pm, 40 hours per week (some variation based on tide/weather)

How to Apply:

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and join a mission-driven team doing meaningful work on the water, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your resume, a brief cover letter explaining your interest and detailing your relevant water-based and mechanical/labor experience, and at least 1 professional reference.

Pay: $21.00 - $24.00 per hour
