VANE BROTHERS MARITIME CAREERS

The spirit of maritime excellence that defined Vane Brothers more than one century ago is still very much the driving force behind the company today. Focused on the future, we are constantly innovating as we operate the most up-to-date equipment and develop better systems to enhance the safety, efficiency, and performance of our fleet. Meanwhile, we never lose sight of the fact that "people" are the difference-makers. Vane vessels are built with CREW COMFORT in mind.

We offer exceptional career opportunities to qualified mariners and shoreside employees who demonstrate the skill and commitment to join us in vital service to the marine transport industry, specifically operating along the U.S. East, West and Gulf coasts, in the Great Lakes region of the U.S. and Canada, and in the Caribbean. For most of our mariners, we also offer highly favorable, EVEN-TIME WORK SCHEDULES: generally, 2 weeks on/2 weeks off, or 3 on/3 off*. (*Exceptions may occur.) Basically, you are working six months out of the year but receiving a full year's salary!

While continually striving to set the standard of excellence in the maritime industry, we are always looking for people with the right mix of skills, education and experience to help us reach our goal.
