Job Description
Career.zycto is actively seeking a dedicated and reliable Fishing Port Operations Aide to join a dynamic team operating within the bustling maritime environment of Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. This pivotal role is essential for ensuring the smooth, safe, and efficient running of daily fishing port activities, thereby contributing significantly to the vibrant local economy and Nigeria’s vital maritime industry. Understanding the diverse needs of our workforce, this position is uniquely structured to offer genuinely flexible schedules, allowing for an optimal work-life balance while upholding the highest standards of operational excellence.
As a Fishing Port Operations Aide, you will be immersed in the heart of daily port operations. Your responsibilities will extend to providing crucial support across various facets, including assisting with vessel docking and undocking procedures, meticulous cargo handling (particularly fresh fish and associated products), and diligently maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the port premises. Every task you undertake will directly impact the timely and safe processing of fishing vessels and their valuable catches, playing an indispensable role in the supply chain that brings fresh seafood to markets and tables. This presents an outstanding opportunity for individuals who thrive in an active, hands-on outdoor environment, possess a strong commitment to safety, and are eager to acquire new skills and advance their careers within the dynamic maritime sector.
This role is ideally suited for someone who is physically robust, inherently safety-conscious, and demonstrates an unwavering work ethic. You will collaborate closely with experienced port personnel, gaining invaluable practical insights into maritime logistics, local and international maritime regulations, and cutting-edge operational best practices. The flexible scheduling component means that while operational demands will dictate some variations, efforts will be made to tailor shifts (which may include early mornings, evenings, or weekends) to align with both port requirements and your personal availability, fostering a truly manageable balance. You will be instrumental in upholding the highest standards of safety and efficiency, ensuring all tasks are consistently performed in strict compliance with established procedures, industry best practices, and relevant regulatory guidelines. If you are seeking a role where each day presents new challenges, where your direct efforts yield tangible and impactful results, and where genuine flexibility is a core offering, we warmly encourage you to submit your application. We are deeply committed to cultivating a supportive and inclusive environment where every team member feels profoundly valued, empowered, and equipped for success.
