Kirby Inland Marine has two entry level positions available on our vessels. Tankerman trainee is an entry level position that has a career track which includes obtaining a MMD PIC-DL so that you can work as a tankerman on a vessel. Deckhand is the other entry level position. Both positions begin at $120/day. No work experience is required, only a good work ethic and the willingness to learn. Kirby's in-house training center provides you with the knowledge and skills needed. In the first 40 days you learn about the towboat. Medical benefits begin after 60 days.
