A well-established and respected seafood processing and logistics operation in BC's wild seafood industry is seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Assistant Operations Manager to support the Senior Vice President of Operations with the day-to-day execution of logistics, fleet coordination, and plant operations.
The right candidate is currently working on fishing vessels as a fishing professional — a fisherman, deckhand, or similar — and is ready to transition from the water to the docks. This role is built for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment and enjoys being both on the floor and in the field.
You will work closely with the Senior VP of Operations and senior leadership to ensure seamless coordination between fishing vessels, logistics, and plant operations. This is not a desk-only role. You will be in the warehouse, on the dock, coordinating freight, solving real-time issues, and building relationships with fishermen and internal teams.
MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS
- Direct, hands-on experience working aboard commercial fishing vessels (e.g., fisherman, deckhand, vessel crew) — required
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- High level of initiative, accountability, and self-motivation
- Ability to operate autonomously and think ahead (foresight)
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment
- Team-oriented with a hands-on mindset
- Flexible and adaptable to changing priorities
- Experience in logistics, operations, or supply chain
- Forklift experience (or willingness to obtain certification)
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
