Location: USF St. Petersburg
Salary Plan: Administrative
Job Code/Title: 6564 / Marine Captain I
Hiring Salary/Salary Range: $75,000 &ndash; 120,000 (commensurate based on experience)
Position Number: 100016242 
<div></div>Organizational Summary:
The Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO) is an institute of the University of South Florida that connects Florida&rsquo;s academic, public, and private partners to the marine environment through oceanographic research, education, workforce development, and applied maritime operations. As a regional marine science and technology resource, FIO provides access to research vessels, specialized marine equipment, field operations expertise, and the Keys Marine Laboratory to support discovery, student learning, environmental stewardship, and solutions to complex coastal and ocean challenges.
Through its vessels, facilities, and experienced maritime professionals, FIO enables researchers, students, agencies, and industry partners to conduct work on, in, and around the water safely and effectively. FIO supports oceanographic research while also serving as a broader platform for interdisciplinary education, experiential learning, marine technology testing, public-private collaboration, and workforce development. As part of USF, FIO strengthens the university&rsquo;s role as a leader in ocean science, coastal resilience, and marine innovation while serving the needs of Florida and the broader ocean community. 
Position Description:
The Research Vessel Captain / Marine Captain serves as the senior vessel authority and is responsible for the safe, compliant, effective, and mission-ready operation of assigned FIO uninspected research vessels. The position exercises command authority over vessel operations, crew, embarked personnel, students, researchers, vessel users, and mission activities while underway, alongside, and during mobilization and demobilization.
The Captain is responsible for navigation, piloting, voyage planning, vessel readiness, crew supervision, deck operations, mission execution, emergency preparedness, safety management, regulatory compliance, scientific mission support, vessel documentation, budget and procurement support, vendor coordination, and communication with FIO leadership, research users, port authorities, regulatory agencies, and external partners.
The updated role is broader than traditional vessel operation. The Captain functions as an operational manager for a mobile university research platform and is responsible for integrating maritime safety, research mission requirements, personnel management, risk controls, logistics, vessel maintenance coordination, scientific equipment deployment, and administrative reporting. The position requires independent judgment and decision-making in dynamic maritime environments, including remote operations, adverse weather, nighttime operations, emergency situations, research deployment evolutions, and multi-day expeditions.

Stand or supervise bridge watches as required; maintain navigational awareness; monitor weather, sea state, vessel traffic, operational constraints, route hazards, fuel endurance, and vessel limitations. Make operational decisions necessary to safely execute research and education missions, including delaying, modifying, suspending, or terminating operations when safety, vessel condition, weather, crew readiness, or mission risk requires.
Vessel Readiness, Maintenance Oversight, and Operational Planning. Inspect vessel condition and readiness before, during, and after missions. Coordinate vessel preparation, route planning, deck configuration, equipment readiness, fueling, potable water, stores, research gear, and mission-specific requirements. Supervise crew in vessel maintenance, repair, preservation, and readiness activities while in port and underway. Coordinate with engineering personnel, Marine Operations, Fleet Readiness, vendors, and shore support to identify deficiencies, prioritize repairs, verify corrective actions, and ensure vessel availability. Oversee readiness of deck machinery, winches, cranes, frames, rigging, small boats, forklifts, safety equipment, navigation systems, communications equipment, and other mission-critical systems.
Crew Leadership, Supervision, Training, and Performance Management. Supervise assigned vessel crew and direct reports, which may include Assistant Captain, Mate, Engineer, Marine Mechanic, Marine Engineering Specialist, Deckhand, Cook/Deckhand, temporary crew, students, or mission support personnel. Assign duties, oversee daily work, establish safety and performance expectations, monitor crew readiness, support training, mentor personnel, and maintain accountability for professional conduct and operational discipline. Ensure crew members understand vessel procedures, emergency duties, deck safety, research support requirements, watchstanding responsibilities, and institutional expectations.
Research Mission Support, Deck Operations, and User Coordination. Coordinate directly with chief scientists, faculty, students, technicians, agency partners, and external users to translate research objectives into safe vessel operations. Plan and supervise launch and recovery of scientific equipment using cranes, winches, A-frames, frames, nets, trawls, small boats, buoys, sampling systems, and other oceanographic equipment. Ensure safe deck operations, rigging, lifting, equipment deployment, recovery procedures, and communication between bridge, deck, engineering, and science personnel. Conduct pre-mission and onboard briefings covering vessel orientation, safety expectations, emergency procedures, deck hazards, personal protective equipment, and operational limitations.
Safety, Emergency Preparedness, Risk Management, and Compliance. Maintain responsibility for vessel safety culture and emergency readiness. Conduct, document, and evaluate emergency drills, including man overboard, fire, abandon ship, flooding, loss of propulsion, loss of steering, medical emergency, marine sanitation casualty, pollution incident, and other applicable scenarios. Inspect and ensure readiness of survival equipment, life jackets, life rafts, life rings, immersion suits, EPIRB, firefighting equipment, first aid supplies, communications, alarms, and emergency systems. Enforce PPE use and safe deck practices. Conduct risk assessments for weather, navigation, lifting, small boat operations, research equipment deployment, and nighttime or adverse-condition operations. Support compliance with applicable USCG, institutional, environmental, safety, and operational requirements for uninspected research vessels.
Administrative Records, Reporting, Procurement, and Fiscal Accountability. Maintain route plans, vessel logs, deck logs, cruise reports, safety records, drill records, voyage documentation, vessel correspondence, crew records as assigned, equipment checklists, and required operational reports. Complete cruise summaries and after-action notes. Manage ship&rsquo;s funds, credit card expenditures, procurement of supplies, inventory records, consumable and non-consumable stock, and vessel operating documentation. Provide timely updates to Marine Operations regarding vessel readiness, deficiencies, schedule impacts, incidents, budget needs, procurement requirements, and mission outcomes.
External Coordination, Representation, and Problem Solving. Serve as the vessel-level representative for FIO in interactions with researchers, students, faculty, VIPs, government officials, port authorities, vessel traffic services, vendors, shipyards, foreign customs or immigration officials when applicable, and other maritime stakeholders. Exercise diplomacy, professionalism, and sound judgment in complex operating environments.
