Refer Future CIVMARs and Earn $500
When you are underway, it is important that shipmates work well together. Having trust in who you are working alongside truly helps establish solid working relationships. That is why we are asking our own workforce to help refer former colleagues, classmates, etc. to consider a career with MSC as a CIVMAR. This referral will not only help us meet our recruiting goals, it will hopefully also help meet the retention goals.
The Command is offering a referral bonus program to CIVMARs who refer skilled mariners who are hired. You will earn $500 for each individual you refer who is hired. The following positions are currently eligible for the Referral Bonus Program.
| Positions FY23 Quarter 4 | |
|---|---|
| First Officer | Pumpman |
| Second Officer | Chief Steward |
| Third Officer | Steward Cook |

| Deck Engineer Machinist | First Radio Electronics Technician (IAT) |
