About the role

Next Generation Logistics seeks a Tugboat Captain to lead operations aboard a 700 HP Lugger vessel, overseeing crew safety, navigation, and maintenance while operating in the Orange, TX area on a 12-hour schedule with a 28/14 rotation. The role requires a USCG MOTV captain license with towing endorsements for Western Rivers, Oceans or Near Coastal waters, a valid TWIC and DL, and the ability to work in all weather conditions, maintaining safety and efficiency on deck and in communications.

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.
