About the role

Ingram Marine Group in St. Louis, MO is seeking a Fleet Boat Captain to steer and manage tow operations on the inland waterways. The role requires living within an hour radius for scheduling and ensuring safety for crew, vessel, and environment. You will lead crew, coordinate tow building, perform safety drills, and maintain compliance with USCG and company safety standards while delivering reliable fleet performance.

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.
