So you would like to join the team at Indies Trader…

A career at Indies Trader is a special type of opportunity. Our areas of operation vary from the idyllic surf laden Mentawai Islands all the way across the Indian and Pacific oceans to our exclusive resort on Beran Island, the diving operation on Bikini Island or aboard one of our vessels working in the Federated States Of Micronesia and other points unknown.

The work is as you would expect not for the faint hearted or the inexperienced and whilst we do have entry level positions from time to time, to survive as part of our operational team in a leadership role you will need to be the real deal. If you are a skipper you will need to know your way around an engine room at a high level and be more than capable of getting your hands dirty as required, you will be calm in an emergency, able to problem solve at a high level and be a natural leader who understands how to self-start and fit into a team. If you have skippers qualifications but no experience you are a mate or a guide at Indies Trader and it’s a long fun road to get your hands on the wheel.

If you are an engineer, you will need a broad range of skills within that field and be comfortable outside the engine room handling everything from tenders, cranes and jetski’s to a tray of guests drinks, you will have an almost magical ability to make equipment that has been driven hard and put away wet spring back to life.

If you are a chef you will need to know all aspects of your trade and be more than capable of producing miracles with very little due to the remote nature of where we choose to carry out our operations and like all our staff have the ability to step into other roles as required.

A typical employee who is long term at Indies Trader is part bush mechanic, part Polynesian navigator, part tech diver and part pro surfer, fisherman, anthropologist, counselor and 100% part of our very special family.

We would love to hear from you if you feel you have something to offer so simply send through your CV and a cover letter via the form below, the most important thing you can do is outline your experience the second is outline your qualifications.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you aboard or on island in the near future.
