Duties and description

Original English description
  • Workers will operate boats in crawfish ponds; bait, set, and retrieve crawfish traps; and assist with the harvesting of crawfish during the peak of the season. Workers will also assist with planting rice in crawfish ponds and preparing harvested crawfish for distribution. Workers may perform minor repairs and maintenance on crawfish traps, boats, and related equipment. Duties may include lifting and handling materials weighing up to 60 pounds. The work is performed primarily outdoors and may require workers to work in inclement weather conditions, including heat, rain, and other adverse weather conditions. Workers must be able to perform repetitive physical tasks, including standing, walking, bending, stooping, lifting, carrying, and handling equipment and harvested crawfish. After harvesting is completed, workers will assist with the cleaning, maintenance and minor repairs, and cleaning and storing of equipment in preparation for the upcoming season. The employer may require workers to submit to a drug test after hire, at no cost to the worker. A positive test result or failure to comply with the employer's drug-testing policy may result in termination of employment.
