EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

FIND YOUR CALLING ABOARD THE IFA

As a small operation, we employ less than 40 employees who focus on providing customers with safe and quality transportation between our Hollis Port and Ketchikan Port. Our crew consists of Vessel and Shoreside Employees who manage the everyday operation of our vessels, the M/V Stikine and the M/V Prince of Wales.

As leaders in the marine transportation industry, IFA employees are responsible for instilling an atmosphere that riding the ferry is a pleasure, not just a need. To that end, every IFA employee is responsible for overall passenger safety and satisfaction. All necessary steps must be taken to correct or to report conditions that could endanger passenger safety or satisfaction on and off the vessel, including IFA vehicles, access ramps, offices, terminals, and terminal grounds.

The IFA’s success is built on recognition of the skills and efforts made by each employee. Every employee and every job is essential to fulfilling our mission to the people who trust and rely on us. It is the primary goal of the IFA and yours to live up to our mission statement and continue as a leader in the marine transportation industry in SE Alaska. This goal is achieved as a team through dedicated hard work and commitment from every employee.
