About the role

Orion is seeking an experienced Boat Captain to support our field construction operations on marine and heavy civil projects. You will safely operate and navigate company vessels, transport crews and equipment, and coordinate with project teams in waterfront environments. This role works closely with field leadership on projects involving ports, terminals, docks, bridges, and marine infrastructure. The emphasis is on safety, teamwork, and delivering results in challenging waterfront conditions.

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.
