I applied with ECO several years ago and was offered a position but by the time they had contacted me about it, I had already accepted a position elsewhere. I am about to do my 500 ton upgrade but for now just hold the dime-a-dozen 100 ton. I will have it in about three months. I would like to reapply there for the crewboats for now and send a resume but can’t remember the guys name or even know if he is still there that I spoke to before, not that it really matters. I want to say his name was Brian something. Anyone have any ideas? Nicky Collins and Laverne Reed neither one rings a bell with me. Sorry, wrong forum area. I reposted in the correct one if an admin can delete this one. Thanks! ---

Nicky Collins does the hiring for officers. You can try for a crewboat captain spot but good luck. Almost every person on a Chouest crewboat is an Ab with a 100 ton license just waiting for a captains position to open up. If you really want to work at Chouest apply as an ab and work your way up. That’s what I did. ---

Thank you. I thought about doing the same but don’t have the RFPNW on my MMC right now. They are making me do the assessments. I appreciate the response though. I also thought about doing the same at HOS. I want to go to either ECO or HOS. They seem to be the places to be to stay with and grow. ---

Thanks and the same to you.
