Committed To The Craft
We have a storied tradition of hard work and perseverance that dates back more than 100 years. And, because of these qualities, we’re known as one of the longest-standing private tugboat operators in Western Canada—proudly earned by way of talented people and a commitment to our craft.
Careers at Hodder
Along with Transport Canada’s requirements for seafaring work, we work with industry unions like the Canadian Merchant Service Guild and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union 400 (ILW 400) to ensure our crews are capable of quality work.
We’re always looking for talented and passionate people to add to our team. If you don’t see a job opening available, you’re welcome to submit a general application Form, along with supporting documentation as applicable.
