💡 A Word from JobPloy
Gwangdeokho is a small fishing company engaged in coastal pot fishing. Foreign workers in this field primarily work as crew members, performing tasks such as setting and retrieving pots, and sorting catches. Due to the nature of fishing, there are many early morning operations, and the work is physically demanding as it takes place at sea. Furthermore, it is heavily influenced by weather, and adherence to safety rules is very important. Understanding the Korean fishing environment and the ability to collaborate with team members are required.
