Job Description
Dock Workers, also known as Longshoremen, are responsible for unloading cargo from ships at port. This is a heavy physical labor job, although it also requires teamwork and a good command of loading technology such as forklifts. Job duties include transferring cargo from the ship to the dock safely and efficiently, as well as securing ships and handling unloading set-up, such as preparing the gangway. Dock Workers also are responsible for cargo inspection, and marking down any damaged or lost items. They keep track of cargo inventory and document any irregularities. They may also be responsible for standard dock maintenance, keeping the facility clean and fully functioning. The job usually entails long hours, starting very early in the morning when the first ships come in. There is a certain amount of risk entailed in any position involving labor and heavy machinery. Dock Workers are typically unionized, and as such the job comes with benefits, time off and a competitive salary. However, the outlook for the job is questionable, as automated unloading technology is becoming more common among shipping industries. As such, a modern dock worker will be well-served by becoming versed in modern technology.Employement Category:
