Ferry Captain - Temporary Full-time 12 Month Contract

Post by Loyalist »

Why Choose Loyalist for Your Next Great Career Opportunity? The Ministry of Transportation recently procured two fully electric non-cable ferries: the Amherst Islander II and Wolfe Islander IV. These state-of-the-art vessels were designed in the Netherlands and built in Galati, Romania. Loyalist Township is thrilled to be the operator of the Amherst Islander II and looks forward to being able to operate in full electric mode once the shore-based infrastructure is complete. As we prepare for the new vessel, we are looking for new crew members to sail the three kilometers that separate beautiful Amherst Island from the mainland. The residents, businesses, and tourist of Amherst Island rely on the dedicated crew for safe passage. This hiring process will bolster the existing crew and help us to prepare for manning the new vessel.
We encourage learning and development and believe a respectful team-based workplace that is effective and safe. We offer excellent pay and benefits, including free counselling services for staff and their families. Beginning in 2023, part-time staff will be eligible for our defined benefit pension plan (OMERS)

Loyalist is a growing community of over 18,000 residents situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario between Greater Napanee and the City of Kingston. The Township is a blend of rural and urban areas with several smaller hamlets throughout, including an island community accessible by ferry. It is an outdoor-lovers dream, with a Great Lake on the doorstep and beautiful Canadian shield lakes and provincial parks minutes away to the north. Next door is the historic City of Kingston, which boasts a lively downtown core right on Lake Ontario, full of excellent restaurants and nightlife offerings. We are also connected to large urban centres by the 401, with the GTA two hours to the west and Ottawa two hours to the east.

What You Offer Loyalist as a Relief Ferry Captain: You hold a marine master license and are you passionate about continuing to pilot a ship and learning new things. You are reliable, hard-working, and team oriented. You have excellent customer service skills and are energized at the thought of being part of an exciting new age in water transportation.
