Safety Launch Operator
(Coaching Assistant)
Brighton Rowing Club | Rochester, NY
Seasonal, part-time:
Monday–Friday, 3:45–6:00 PM
August 31 – October 31
Pay: $20–$25/hour, based on experience
Brighton Rowing Club needs a second set of eyes on the water this fall. You'll operate your own launch alongside the coaching launch and keep watch over our high school athletes — spotting swamped shells, boat traffic, changing weather, and anyone who needs help.
Great fit for a college rower home for the semester, or anyone with a boating license looking for steady afternoon hours and time on the water.
What you'll do:
-
Operate a safety launch during every practice
-
Keep constant visual contact with rowers; respond first to equipment failure, capsizes, or river traffic
-
Carry and manage safety gear — PFDs, throw rope, radio
-
Help with launching, docking, and boat handling
What we're looking for:
-
A confident, alert small-boat operator — the job is paying attention for two hours straight
-
Boating experience; NY boating safety certificate required (we'll help you get it)
-
Rowing experience is a plus, not a requirement
Background check required. CPR/First Aid and US Rowing Safe Sport training required within 30 days of hire — the club covers the cost.
To apply: email dave.clar@brightoncrew.org.
