Qualifications 

SKIPPER (FM4)

Creative Salmon is Canada’s first certi­fied organic farm salmon producer raising Chinook salmon in To­fino, B.C.

We are immediately seeking a Captain with minimum qualification of Fishing Master 4 to skipper our harvest vessel.

This is a fixed term contract (ending in late summer 2026) and we are flexible with offering either a payroll fixed-term employee role or agreeing to a contract for the term.

The shift is generally 4 days/week, 10-hour days; Sunday to Wednesday but overtime is often requested. The work pattern is harvest, off-load the next day, repeat.

The Tamanawas vessel is crewed with the captain and two (sometimes three) deckhands.

Open to discussing housing, recognizing accommodation in Tofino can be challenging.

How to Apply 

Applicants should send expressions of interest to hr@creativesalmon.com ASAP.

Copies of applicable certifications will be required at time of job offer. Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada and only qualified candidates will be contacted.
