Job Description

Seafood processing is similar to production line work. The job entails constantly working with your hands, some heavy lifting, and standing for long periods of time.

It is important that our employees have the ability to understand and follow instructions and safety rules.

UniSea is looking for individuals who are energetic, hard-working, and can work well with others. The employment contract is for five months, 1500 hours (includes overtime hours) or layoff, whichever comes first. Occasionally, promotional opportunities arise within the production department and production support areas. We encourage all interested employees to apply for these positions through our internal job posting system. Through the use of this system, many of our positions have been filled internally. Employee referrals are also encouraged.
