About the role

American Commercial Lines seeks Captains and Pilots for Inland Waterways operations. The role involves safeguarding crew, vessel, cargo, and environment across canal and inland river routes.

Candidates must hold current USCG licenses, possess Inland Waters or Near Coastal Endorsements, and maintain active TWIC.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
