Job description

Role details, requirements and important context from the employer.

UK-Flagged Vivier Crabbers | LevEmun Group

LevEmun Group is built around real fishing operations, not theory.

We support active UK-flagged vivier crabbers operating under UK fishing licences in authorised EU fishing areas, and we are now expanding our skipper and mate pool for two under-20m crab fishing vessels.

We are also developing a future adaptive hybrid crabber prototype, designed to improve sea-keeping, deck safety, vessel efficiency, and long-term fuel resilience.

For the right people, this is more than a trip-by-trip role — it is an opportunity to help shape a stronger, safer and more professional future pot-fishing operation.

Rotation

We believe a tired skipper is a liability.

Our target structure is a fairer and more sustainable rotation, such as:

• One month onboard

• One month at home

Subject to experience, certification, availability, and operational requirements.

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking professional Skippers and Mates with strong pot-fishing experience.

Preferred backgrounds include:

  • Crab
  • Lobster
  • Langoustine / Prawns
  • Whelks
  • Octopus
  • Other pot-based fisheries

Candidates should have strong practical ability in:

  • Gear handling
  • Safe deck operations
  • Crew leadership
  • Catch quality management
  • Vessel care
  • Maintenance awareness
  • Clear onboard reporting

Certificates & Compliance

Relevant MCA certification, valid medical certification, and mandatory fishing vessel safety training are expected, depending on role, vessel, operating area, and responsibility level.

What We Offer

  • Fair basic pay
  • Transparent catch-related bonus opportunities
  • Vessel-care and responsibility incentives
  • Full shoreside operational and technical support
  • Long-term cooperation potential
  • Opportunity to provide practical input into future vessel improvement and prototype development

We are ready to appoint suitable qualified candidates without unnecessary delay.

Applications will be reviewed as received.
