- Must possess a minimum of a Level 2 OFA, Level 3 Preferred.
- Previous experience preferred but not necessary.

The position is at the Vancouver Shipyard working directly with me. On the job training is provided as the role of a marine safety officer is quite different than most jobs out there. We are classed as heavy industry and has the types of hazards that are associated with that so the candidate should be prepared for some demanding situations.

Yes we are located in North Vancouver - this particular yard is on the foot of Pemberton, but we also own the one next door to the SeaBus Terminal.

It is a contract position that has a very good chance of turning into a staff position. No Benefits as a Contractor but you get the write-offs.
