Port Assistant

Cal Mac

Worked the summer season 2025 and worked as part of a team to ensure the smooth running of daily operations of the vessel.


Ensured safety procedures were followed at all times by helping to direct vehicles and passengers embarking/disembarking the vessel. I always spoke to staff and passengers in a friendly manner and resolved any concerns as best as I could. An email was sent to the area manager commending my friendly nature and pleasant interaction with customers.


I worked effectively as part of a team and got on well with my colleagues both shore side and the crew of the boat too. I completed the majority of the courses required with just two that weren't able to be rescheduled within the timeframe of my seasonal contract.
